Thanks for visiting our club and having a look around, there is a lot to see. Why not consider becoming a member?

See the generator on the front wheel for the head light? I used to have one of those on one of my bikes.


Those have been around for years haven't they - I had one on my Raleigh bike in the early 70's - we used to call it a dynamo.

Yeah, they were big in the 60's-70's. We only used them for a short time though. They were loud and put such a drag on the wheel especially the faster you went we took them off in short order.
(Old geezer mode on) Kids today with their coin cell batteries and bright ass LED's that way an ounce don't know how good they have it. (Old geezer rant off)
