Toad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Toad refers to a number of species of amphibians. A distinction is often made between frogs and toads by their appearance, prompted by the convergent adaptation among so-called toads to dry environments. Toad is often found in various states of inebriation. The draw to return to amphibian life is occasionally strong, and often not terribly successful. Not technologically advanced, Toad is capable of basic motorcycle handling, but advanced wading is not to be advised.

The weekend stated on Friday lunchtime when Mutley arrived, and we started what ended up as being a fairly boring and processional ride down to Andover.

Tent was erected and it was time for standing around and talking bollocks.

The first ford was well examined. . .
