Today's junk is tomorrow's archaeology. I have collected a vast amount of things, ranging from books, newspaper cuttings, catalogues, my own photographs, picture postcards, stamps and advertising material to old cameras, radios and items salvaged from junk sales and shops. It's pure nostalgia and a fascination with things past. My purpose is not profit but to render a pleasurable service! Dedicated to my mother, who taught me hobbies,love and perseverance.

1970s Yamaha RD
This was one of those dream bikes. My only experience with a Yamaha RD was taking a friend's bike for a short spin. It felt formidable. Very nippy in traffic and I enjoyed that two-stroke snarl. Thirsty machine but petrol was cheap. Many RDs are lovingly looked after the world over, but I haven't seen a good classic example in Sri Lanka yet.
