First bike I ever bought was a bantam D1 . Bought it in 1967. Cost me £5. Ran for ever until I bought a tiger cub for £60 a few years later. Both bikes were so much fun.
My older Brother had a Bantam 175cc when I was bout 14yrs. I always wanted a D1 with the single seat and hardtail and finally got one as a retirement prezzie to myself. Guaranteed smiles with every mile.
I'm lucky enough to see these beautiful engines as they pass by my house on the way to the show. The drivers will always wave as they pass and all will chat about their machines at the show. If you get a chance to ride with one, don't wear light colours.
What now appears to be St Agnes Parrish Council offices used to a Lloyds Bank sub branch, initially sub to Truro and then to Perranporth, when that became a branch. It was open 3 days a week and my father was the bank clerk. We lived above the branch. This must be from 69 years ago, and was there from age 4 to 11. Went to St Agnes Primary down British Road.
A really nice bike. I took my motorcycle test on a D1 in the '60s. During the test you had to ride slowly while the examiner walked along the pavement to prove your slow riding control, keeping level with him. This D1 would tick over in first gear and go slower that the examiner, without touching the clutch lever. Fantastic machine. One question, perhaps my memory is playing up but I seem to remember that the D1 had a rigid rear frame and the D2 had plunger suspension. Perhaps you could clarify that for me?
Good effort and thanks for sharing - just one thing tough in future "slow down" and pause when you are panning over the bikes, you move the camera around much to quickly spoiling the overall enjoyment unfortunately.
The majority were of the older generation but the show was for classic bikes and the youngsters ride more modern machines with fuel injection and less reliability problems. The Government aren't helping though with the push for electric bikes and the minimum sales that manufacturers have to comply with, which could well lead to dealers pulling out of the UK or be fined. Look up M.A.G for more information.
I was born in St Agnes in 1967 . Spent my childhood growing up here. Miss this place so much and all my family too. So many beautiful memories…I shall return!
