DERESTRICTED + -273°

Been a fan of Piers and his work and blog - Derestricted and -273° for some time now.

Was doing a little background reading on him and came across this statement.
Another, WHAT A STATEMENT!
"Although preferring to cut class as kids to ride, nowadays you are as likely to find us buried deep in books as deep in powder, on a never ending quest for knowledge. One of the main foundational insights of the Anglo-Saxon civilization is that unenlightened people are easier to control than enlightened ones. Through our website we hope to enlighten both ourselves and anyone who reads it, whilst always striving to retain a skeptical and empirical view." - Piers @ Derestricted.com

Number Plate 1970 Yamaha FT1-J Flattracker

My numberplate off my 1970 Yamaha FT1-J Flattracker when I raced as a kid [age: 5-8]. I managed to keep this numberplate and my hotshoe: flickr.com/photos/rodneywills/258785936/in/set-7215759415...

I would later try to use it on my Yamaha bicycle, but it was too heavy and would slide down on the forks as it used the heavy rubber band type of mount on the back.
