Welcome, Tom.

I seem to remember a motorbike "shop" that was based in some old buildings (farm, ex WW2?) in Armthorpe in the early 80s.

May have been called, "Trev's Motorcycles," or similar.

Greetings from Essex.

Unfortunately you've picked the wrong year, normally there is quite a lot up your way. I have friends in Bawtry and have often visited there with my C90 in/on a van. Also camped at Squires and participated in some great rides'.

Cue for someone from the York crew to chip in. :D

No, I used to live in a tiny village on the A60 between Worksop and Doncaster but moved to the Sussex coast in '87.

Hi I'm new to the forum,,,,,,and a born again cub rider. I'm from Armthorpe near Doncaster and bought my 1996 c90 about a month ago after passing my test on one and having quite a few different bikes along the way. Having not ridden a bike for a number of years I didn't want my arms pulling off so decided a cub was the right choice....been out a few times done 35 miles round trips and thought it would be better to join a group for ride outs and meetings. Hope to get out with some of you soon.

Tom
