swansea kingsway night

[all sorts]

Just wondering about 15 maybe 18 years or so ago (feel realy old now)
there was always a gang of us that used to meet down by the NCP car park most nights and then go on to the services sometimes up to maybe 20 bikes or so
Does this still go on down there?
rember a few names like
jafa
johny side stand
hoody, dont expect he,l know what a pc is if he,s still about 
Daffy
johy walker

I used to be down there then but in a car, used to have a black opel manta gte, back when there used to be mk2 escorts, capris etc down there.
I remember the bikes being outside the car park
Do you remember the foreign student in the lambo countach ? He stuffed it into one of those huge concrete flower pots in the centre lol

You're not that old all sorts.

Like Mark I used to go down there in a car (a black Rover SD1 with a 3.9 V8 and as it happens a white opel manta with a 400 bodykit and a 2.4 trick engine) but that was more like 20 yrs ago.
To be honest the speed and acceleration of bikes killed my interest in spending money on trying to improve car performance.

Didnt the white manta have some connection with the engine building place near the m4, morriston ?
I remember seeing a white manta down there, mine had a 2.2 engine but ended up with a 16v 240 bhp lump.
I was a bit late discovering bikes, only the last 5 years, then gave up on fast cars

I had a white mg montego turbo (I know say nowt) down there before i started on the bikes
there was a fleet of uno turbos and a chap in a red renault 21 turbo anyone remember that?

I was around the time they were filming twin town down there  also remember the white mk3 escort with blue tiger stripes 

So are the bikes still down there?

Bloody hell no we're talking I used to go down there once or twice every 3-4 months or so in a black mrk3 XR3, Cav SRI 130 M-Tec Green Metallic 325I Beemer
but most of my time was spent up in Bridgend on the horizon site @ tremains.


The good old days where you could drag race someone & the only thing you needed to be worried of is the odd local copper that may slap you on the wrist & end your night early by sending you home

[yoyo]

Ahhh fond memories!! Yellow 1300s Fiesta or blue Mkii Capri with some very sexy louvres on the back windows. Those were the days! Remember getting pulled by a copper after racing (and beating!) a Mki XR2, the copper told me to f&*k off home before he told my old man, that was scary!!

Good times  . Apparently Lisa used to sit in Pizza Hut window with her swotty mates and take the piss out of petrol heads, she didn't know what she was missing!

Rear wheel drive, wet nights and roundabouts either end of the kingsway.
After curry sauce and chips from caerethin, Sunday nights just didnt get any better.

[all sorts]

I that's it up the services until silly o'clock in the morning and maybe down as far as the north dock to watch the loons down there.

can remember hoodys old gsxr black and red/pink nice bike until he bined it more than once 

few more names come to mind like the twins on RGV  and a urban tiger blade new at the time i think.

jafa with his Rd lc and then  the cbr 600 with a blade engine fitted surprised a few people that did
