Anyone a regular in the Letters Inn Tattenhall in the 70's or 80's biking era? I've forgotten names of many of the pubs I used to frequent from those days, must be old age or too much alcohol

Tigers head at Norley and the Tap at Eastham were other good biker pubs
Used to go to the letters when 1st left school on an old(even then)unrestricted fizzy you could get 50 out of it for half an hour before it blew up.they used to all cheer as us young guns burnt up the high st on our sewing machinesThe old man got fed up of paying for rebores. And bought me a bright orange allegro as a penance

Ah yes, most of my mates had either SS50's or fizzy's I had a Garelli tiger cross
Beeston Cafe under the bridge from the mart was always full of bikes at the weekend. Don't remember going to the Tigershead or the Tap but they maybe after my time. An allegro must have been a serious penance although I didn't fair much better, my farther bought me a Dolomite 1300

Bit late to the party!
Great thread lot of stuff I lusted over looking through magazines or bigger farms dad worked on when growing up.
Great thread
lot of stuff I lusted over looking through magazines or bigger farms dad worked on when growing up.Guessing the same? There was a Burgess down here Exeter, Devon did a weeks school work experience with them some 16-17 years ago.
I had a purple fizzy, and was envious of my mates Garelli. Tried two up on mine, with my brother. We leaned too much on first corner and fell off. He was a year younger and only had a pushbike, so we used to tie him behind on a rope.Ah yes, most of my mates had either SS50's or fizzy's I had a Garelli tiger cross

A proper busy pub back then. Was told the pool tables used to rake in £200/week, that was an awful lot of 10p pieces!Anyone a regular in the Letters Inn Tattenhall in the 70's or 80's biking era?
