So for all you young whippersnappers who reckon you invented bobbers about 2 years ago, here is one that my old mate, Peter Woodham, built in 1979. 

That is Pete in all his glory in the first picture, he was always a snappy dresser.  He’s still my mate today although we don’t see each other so often.  Been friends for about 47 years, since form 3 at James Cook High.  We did get into some mischief, in those early years between then and now.  Now we’re both Grandfathers and respectable!

Originally it was a 1970 Triumph US Export Bonneville, but it was a bit rough when he bought it, it had a hard life.  So he did what any sane person would do and built a bobber.  Only we called them low riders in those days, not bobbers, that's a term got invented by HD a few years back I think

This is from way back, in the days when ‘Old Skool’ was just called ‘Skool’!
