Welcome to Ron Beckett's Internet pages. Until recently, because of my interest and ownership of Hillmans and a Range Rover, I had pages for both. However, I have now moved the Web Pages for the Hillman Owners' Club of Australia Inc. (HOCA) to its own domain http://www.hillman.org.au where it is sponsored by ISP, Mike Marsh. Please update your links.

I've added a few pages relating to my last couple of motorcycles, a 1985 Suzuki GS850G shaft drive bike and a very pretty 1990 Honda CBR1000F.(both now sold) The Suzuki was given to me by my son who currently rides a Yamaha XJR1300 muscle bike and a Yamaha R1 sports bike.

Throughout these pages, I have endeavoured to keep loading speed high by avoiding fancy backgrounds, etc., and by keeping pictures as thumbnails. If you want to see a bigger version of the picture, merely mouse-click on it and it will be loaded.

I want you to read these pages, not go away frustrated by the loading speed.

If you have problems with the site, please let me know - you know how it is - it works OK for me! Equally, if you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. I'm a novice at this web page design stuff.

Oh, that cute little bloke on the right is me aged about 6 at Albury Primary School in southern New South Wales (I'm not saying in which year). I think I'd have been ideal to play "William" in any of the Richmal Crompton "William" books - don't you? One sock part-way down, the cap on crooked, dishevelled clothes, cheeky smile, etc.... Click on the picture to see it all. (Right - 5Kb)
