Now you have mentioned Redhill Motors. They were the dealer in Brighton when I lived there in 76-79. Are they still around? We were in there two or three times a week and they gave us discount for the Uni bike club (did I mention that I was the President from 77-79?).
They always said that we looked different with helmets on so we had a bunch of Bike Club ID cards with us wearing helmets (and probably B&HA football scarves). I'll see if I can dig one out and post it on here.
Maybe sort out the mugshots thread too

I was at Goodwood for his final race in 2002. Despite being very sick, he and Wayne Gardner had a ding dong battle, way ahead of everyone else in the race. It was like he and Roberts all over again, hand gestures, the works. Barry came a very close second in what subsequently became the Barry Sheene Memorial Race that Gardner won in its first year, 2003.

If my info is right yes there were 2 shops when the original man was in charge Brighton and Maidstone.Then the son in law took over and sadly Brighton went first then The other.
Damn shame but thats the way some go.Drew thats fine mate did not know about that as I was out of the UK in those days.
