The train to Herford North at Finsbury Park, 1976

"In the 1980s Finsbury Park became a regular jumping off point for me. Either rushing it catch a Piccadilly Line train having just arrived on the Victoria Line or the other way round. I even changed at Holborn for the Aldwych branch sometimes to get…"

"I bought a Honda CB250 from C&H in 1978, I think. Looked good in blue, and was reliable, if bland. Chopped it in for a Ducati 350 Mk 3 after becoming influenced by the brother of a friend who had a Ducati 250 24 Horas."
