November 1971 I was either Cool or Hot, can't remember which phrase was in vogue at the time    more hair than sense 

What model year was the CB175? Looks suspiciously like my '68... except without the fancy mudguards.  And incidentally, if you Google 'Honda CB175' you'll see this self same pic in the Wikipedia result. Someone pilfered it and used it.

Excuse me  they wuz genuine Jackie Stewart shades, come to think of it so was the hairstyle, I stopped short of the black cap though. I saved up for weeks of being a petrol pump jockey at weekends to afford those.

Now I've heard it all!!!! Staying up late to watch Val Doonican wouldn't have been on my childhood list of things to do. :icon_wink: Having said that, as a kid I would try anything to not have to go to bed at "bedtime".
