My friend Paul Baxter (pictured with Carlton bike) and I rode from Oadby to my grandad's place in Birmingham just after I bought it. My family emigrated to Perth Western Australia in 1971 and I took the bike with me. Sold it to my younger brother to help fund my first car and I don't know what he did with it, but I wish I'd never sold it!
