The “Acomb shop”, was that on Viking road? If so I believe Alan Mountain started out there before moving to Holgate road. Small world as they say.
I recall Alan calling round to our house when we lived Poppleton on an MV Augusta he’d taken in in part ex, seeing if my dad wanted to buy it. He knocked it back!
Unsurprisingly my first 3 bikes were Hondas, XR75, TL125 (150 kit in it) and a CB50J my first road “bike”. Then got into trialing bit more “seriously” with a TY 250 YAM. That was followed by my first 400/4.
