What a fantastic fords day. It certainly took it's toll on a couple of the bikes!!

Big thanks once again to Fanum for leading, Clive for following, Brian for his patience, and everyone else that went for making it the day that it was.

There are photos too, but they are currently uploading to their home in the sky, and I'll post those once they have taken up residence.

Apologies, these where mostly taken by Mrs. Toad, and therefore focus on her slim and athletic husband:augie

This one is a bit like pulling teeth to watch. . . . It started well, and ended badly!

wasn't your fault chap.

if you watch carefully every time you let the clutch out to drive out, the boys on the back of your bike lift it so the wheel spins:eek:
















there you go that should make yer feel a bit better:augie :thumb


top vids though chap, I had a secret weapon for the crossing in the Mitzy, its called a FLIPFLY, its a fully mobile traction device that i've found far more use than a dozen bags of concreate:D
