There was the Nelson in the old town, and the Norman arms in St Leonard's, although the Carlisle on the seafront was the "Bikers" pub.

If it's got tits or wheels, it's hassle, if it's got both, RUN!!!

It would have been the Nelson , I can remember going to the Carlisle as well but not as often as I went to the Nelson.

Or his bike will get nicked and he'll have no reason to be here, some scumbag stole the front caliper from my 750F1 in a seafront car park in broad daylight a few years back!

That's what happens if you let the Normans be in charge.
Bit harsh, my dad was named Norman, don't think he ever went to Hastings though.

Not Hastings but near to Newhaven, Hastings did receive some bad press a while back, it has a certain charm and is a shadow of it's previous self.

Thanks yes the Spindle is in the wrong way....

Hi all,

Just sold my modern bike, and bought a 1977 CB400F.

The bike was restored by the previous owner in 1989, but it hasn't been ridden since, It sort of runs, I've got to sort carbs, front brake, a service and possibly some tyres and then it's back on the road.

Welcome to the mad world of the SOHC, love that: "Just sold my modern bike, and bought a 1977 CB400F". Great looking bike  ;)
