Founders Day

27 July 2008

In the brilliant sunshine I could see nothing but grizzled old wrinklies ...

... reflected in the chrome and mirror polished alloy.

Never overwhelmed by oriental machines ...

... even if the odd continental slips in.

This year as usual they were all looking for shelter ...

... but from the sun for a change.

Friction dampers on this Cotton suspension ...

... damned if I can find the springs though.

Ace reporter Les Hobbs called in ...

... on his way home from a boozy Dalesman Rally.

I am a sucker for a nice motorcycle and sidecar combination ...

... even if it is function over form.
