The reason for the trip was to recreate a photo of me on a bike taken 38 years ago. I hadn't been back since 1980 until a few weeks ago when I dropped in for the day. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised but then I couldn't remember what it was like before. Hadn't realised the beach was so long, was also free of amusement arcades and I didn't think the town centre was too bad. It's somewhat better than Coventry! Anyway battery turned out to be shagged so bought another AGM, this time a yuasa. Took a ride down into the Cotswolds instead so all wasn't lost.
