I Remember when I was a Boy

[threedogs]

I much have had a better job than you. I got $17.50 putting the handles on aluminum fry-pans. I lasted 2 weeks. I knew that there had to be something better than that. Joined the PMG. Delivered telegrams on a push-bike and then became one of Sydney's first "modern motorcycle" postmen.

Started work @ 15 as a sewing machine mechanic as it was known then.after 2 yrs I was the highest paid
for my age in Vic. That was working for Holeproof in Sydney rd Brunswick, right behind Frank Mussett motorcycles.
Where my passsion for bikes started. Still repair a machine every now and then
Back then you were paid by your age,,,lol
