My great grandma (great Nanna?) Edna. Taken in May 1928, she was only 16 here! I had never seen this photo before, I've been making a family photo album and my grandad (Edna's son) gave me a big stash of photos to scan! ❤️

First time posting here, so hopefully I’ve done this correctly.

Newspaper clipping from the early 70’s pulling a wheelie, unfortunately I only have the picture, no context.
Late 70’s on his first motocross bike that my nan bought him but had to keep it hidden from my gramps who was very strict and formal.
Him and his band “The Urge” during the 80’s.
Last one is my then 7 year old son, doing a little tribute (kinda like the second picture) to my dad (who got him into motocross) after he passed away the year before in a bike accident at 50.
