Back when I was a kid at primary school - about age 10 (so 1968) - there was a motorbike shop next to the school building (Jeffries in Great Missenden)
It was basically a large shed for the mechanics to work in with a front door and a counter. There was a friendly but quite crusty old mechanic in there who would let school kids watch him work on Triumphs from the safe side of the counter. Lots of fun at lunch time, and there was also the trade calenders on the wall which were quite exotic for school kids. Stopped by visiting my mother a few years back and the old shop has been knocked down and 'improved'. Yay - I finally found it online Bert Jeffries https://www.pressreader.com/uk/old-b...81878712746530 Edit: https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/th....106327/page-2 Some years ago, back in the mid to late 70s I was in an old motorbike shop in Great Missenden in Buckinghamshire. It was owned by an old man, Bert Jeffries, and he dealt almost exclusively in British bikes. We had been decimal for a few years, but his shop 'till' was a cloth bag, and it was still rife with old coinage. One day when I was in there somebody came in and asked if, by chance, he had or knew where he could get a set of front forks for an Ariel Square Four. That's a bike produced from 1930 to 1954. Bert shuffled off upstairs to his storeroom and after a few minutes of banging around came down with a brand new pair. Unable to contain his delight, the customer asked how much. Bert looked at the price tag and said "Thirty seven shillings and sixpence". That's £1.50 in today's money. And that is the price that he wanted. Some time in the 90s I caught the last few minutes of a documentary that the BBC did about him. Bert was still alive then - in his 90s, and his son was running the shop. |

(above) The Sand Pebbles (1966). Looks like it was filmed somewhere in Asia and the bikes are locals, notice what I think is a band-drum brake on the rear. USA bikes usually had coaster or rim brakes.

in her biography of him McQueen's first wife Niele writes of an episode in the making of the picture when they were on Formosa they had to get to a shooting location by a specific time and were so far from it that everyone told them they could not make it in time over the island's rough, rocky & rutted roads as they existed in 1965 Steve took this as a challenge and they did make it in time once when they had first met in NYC Steve won an MG in a poker game and totaled it the first day as he conducted it into one of the city's notoriously cavernous potholes on another occasion she gifted him a new Ferrari for his birthday. he only had it an hour before wrapping it around a telephone pole, as he was distracted by a nice bit of tail in Malibu. car still exists today and is somewhat famous, having passed through the hands of two or three different collectors. ----- |

Looks like some slight hip roll on her left there. How were those grips retained on the drop bars? Possibly a Kodachrome to B&W conversion by the blown highlights and jet blacks... or just a weird fill flash exposure with whatever B&W film was used. Appears London-ish. -D.S. |

I'm guessing Chelsea Embankment with Cadogan Pier and Albert Bridge in the background.
Somewhere near the Bazalgette monument - he rebuilt London's sewerage after "the great stink". He also created the embankments for the new sewers to run under. |

I didn't know she was that tall. Bike is at least a 21", more likely 22" if I gauge the photo properly.
