Re: Stafford show
The stand was great.
I hadn't realised the scale of the show and should've got there earlier on Sunday.
Sprid - I only dropped a motorcycle once (1966 14CSR) with Linda on and there's no accounting for a really wet slick of of diesel all across a "cloverleaf" bend off a dual carriageway.
I was unmarked as was the AJS but Linda suffered damage partly because she hadn't worn the kit that she had, I had asked her to wear but she didn't.
Subsequently we did many 1,000's of miles on a TR6P which unfortunately was her favourite machine. Give a dog a bad name...............
I did qualify as an instructor many years ago and passed the pursuit test without dropping a point.
But that was a looooonnnnggggg time ago.

Au contraire, John, actually (does that sound like Dianne Abbott?), I had in mind your various mechanical roadside interruptions............ and that most women of my acquaintance would need a trailer just for their shoes.56G80S wrote: Sprid - I only dropped a motorcycle once (1966 14CSR) with Linda on and there's no accounting for a really wet slick of of diesel all across a "cloverleaf" bend off a dual carriageway.

Re: Stafford show
AAhhh, you'll be pleased to hear then that while out on a trip to Whitby last Wednesday the Matchless was climbing a 1 in 5 in third gear.
Knowing your continantla experience (no, not that kind of experience) and back on "show" type of topic, I listened for a long time to a really interesting chap with a lovely well used Indian on display who referred to a "Wheels and Waves" rally at Biarritz. Has anyone heard of it, been or can think of anywhere else I can go in mainland Europe seeing that I'll not be at Santarem?
Always assuming that I can sweet talk Linda.
