John mocks the 650 one time too many


Edited by Bert

Just in case any one was worried... it wasn't mace!! it was 'Cool Spray' as John was overheating a bit (unlike the F650 which was fine!)

Bert hands out the meds
(shameless thanks to David Hale for his unimaginable generosity and support)

and there are other goodies too
(shameless thanks to someone - sorry but I don't know who donated it, I'm sure Bert will fill in the blanks for me)

Twas Invicta Moto AKA Paul Devall - top feller

The kids start to get a bit more excited now
