This is entirely true..........................

I did the ton in '61
On a Matchless 650 cc,
Without a crash-hat
On his pillion I sat,
Dave Jeffries, the M1,
and me.

Such rebels we were then,
Out in all weathers,
Me in my blue jeans
And him in black leathers,
We lived for excitment,
Rock music, fun,
Hells Angels,
The Cellar Club,
Doing The Ton.

I saw him last week,
Old now, and plumper,
In natty check trousers
And M & S jumper,
The King of the Bikers,
Selecting a cauli,
Padding round Safeways,
Pushing his trolley.
