Thanks for your help, when I was a boy then I had no money to buy anything decent and most of the visits to the dealers with my mates was to look at the bikes and pick up any free posters for the bedroom, and have a blether with the other bikers.

Can any of the older bike folk remember the name of the bike shop just down from the dancing hall near the fire station, i google mapped it and it looks like its an empty building now. Might have just been dunfermline motorcycles but cant remember now. Any idea why it closed and when also appreciated. I noticed county motors has also gone, although it seems its repairing motor vehicles under another name. I moved away in the 70s and a bit disapointed when I returned last year for a visit to see them gone. In those days there also used to be a guy called wullie pitbladdow who kept most of the parts for the british bikes but he is gone now also and new houses built there
