[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:22:31 10/03/07 Wed Reg Scott, of Ludham in Norfolk, has been declared as ‘Britain’s oldest biker’, at the age of 90. Mr Scott, who has been riding since the age of 22 – when he bought a Norton 16H for £72 “As I couldn’t’ afford a car” – said motorcycling keeps him young. The former merchant navy officer (and great grandfather) rides the roads of Norfolk every day. 78 years on the road and he has never been stopped by the police – and until seven years ago had never had an accident until he skidded on an oil spill. He added "Every Sunday I go to church, come home, put my heavy black leathers on and ride over to Yarmouth for a pub lunch and a pint. It's glorious, if the weather is nice.” "I do have a car, but I love my bike. I now have a Honda CBF600 - it's a beautiful blue colour. I will ride till the day I die." Well done Mr Scott and lets hope you have many happy miles ahead of you. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
