LEYLAND'S Keith Littleford rekindled his passion for motorbikes after a chance meeting with an old friend.
Keith (pictured), from Earnshaw Bridge, bumped into his old pal at Fastline in Preston and started working on classic models for pleasure, keeping some and selling others at the shop.
His latest successes are a Honda VT1100 Shadow from America and a Honda CB 400 Super 4 from Japan. He said: "Both bikes had fallen into disrepair and I stripped them down, cleaned them up and put them back together.
"It's something I had a passion for when I was in my 20s, then never bothered about it for around 15 years.
"I started doing it as a hobby. I get as much satisfaction out of seeing the finished product as I do from riding them."
