Ton up Kid ( original song ) 

Loved it Jim great song mate I always been a biker ever since 74 when I was 16 with my 50 cc Yamaha Fs1e then in 76 when I was 18 I passed my bike test and bought a brand new Suzuki GT 380 triple I thought it was the dogs bollocks at the time but it never sounded as good as a Triumph or Norton or BSA or Vincent that were the real bikes loved it Jim great song and video sorry to hear you lost your Brother John sadly many are riding on that great bikers high way in heaven fantastic work mate thank you Jim from Phil .

I love the touch with the bike sounds!

Enjoyed my visit Jim , cool song , John

Beautiful how an emotion and fond remembering can spark a song....extended therapy! They are wonderful photos, too....it must be very hard to lose a sibling. Perhaps your Bro is smiling, back at ya. would not surprise me. :-)

Brilliant - a lovely tribute.

Love it, Jim. Great job mixing in the bike sounds.

Grease is one of those smells which can induce strong lucid nostalgic memories for you isn't it?

Puts me in mind of flying on one of those big ones alright. Used to ride with a couple of my friends sometimes. Sorry to hear about your brother, friend.

love this, jim! mar t

oh .. the race was pretty fast past ;-) but your brother would love it !!

Fun but too short.

I can see you now. Speeding down some wide open road with the wind in your face. Look out man. There is a bloody bear in the road. But he only wants a ride.

I wrote a response to your *ton up kid* but have not got a tune for it Would it be too much to ask for you to exercise your prodigious skills and put a tune to this. Big Billy bought himself a scooter Rode it down tae Kockshinoch pit Big Billy never wore a helmet Said he had no use for it. Wee Annie said tae Big Billy I ken that ye need a spare Why don’t ye buy a wheel tae please me If ye take me for a ride, I’ll let doon ma hair. Well Big Billy never told wee Annie He needed Specs and was as blind as a bat He whizzed between a parked bus and an oncoming lorry It turned wee Annie on, she wanted more o’ that From Sanquhar tae Kirkconnel Big Billy gave that Vespa 250 some gyp Stopped off at the Tallies in Cumnock Gave Wee Annie a poke o’ fish and chips They shared them doon at the kirk cross Feeling more like saints than sinners. And Big Billy gave Wee Annie her first kiss It tasted o’ salt and vinegar Wee Annie cuddled inta Big Billy’s parka Said never be a rocker just stay a Mod And who knows we could be a line in a poem Written by the hand of God.

I'm a byciclist. Does my opinion count? :-)
