Hi All. Unfortunately I
cannot make it tonight but thankfully Doddie agreed to take care of the
delivery of this issue. Thanks a lot for that. I hear the Southern Bike
Show was very well attended and MSL had 10 bikes on display (although rather
squashed in), which generated a lot of interest. The Cowpie Show was
equally well attended with about 10 MSL bikes on display. I understand that
–in view of the weather forecast- Bob had organised for his gazebo and some
chairs to be taken to the show ground. Unfortunately he got involved in an
accident (his reaction being a lot quicker than that of the car behind him –
the car with the gazebo) and couldn’t make it to the show as a result.
However, has anybody got a spare mudguard for a Thunderbird? Rumour has it a certain
Regalia person had a lot of fun playing with armoured vehicles … well Robin,
as long as you don’t desert the Triumph Club to join up with them … Malcolm is currently
designing some trophies for the bike show. If you have any spare parts /
regalia bits and pieces or similar things which would make a nice decoration
for one of the trophies, please get in touch with him as soon as possible. And last but not least: Does
anybody know how the trip to |

In light of the confusion at the last run I
have compiled a quick summary of the Runs Code of Practise as a little refresher for everyone: 1.
Have a full tank of petrol. 2.
No one is to overtake the Runs Leader. 3.
If you are right behind the Runs Leader and he / she either turns
left or right and / or is pointing at you and then a spot by the side of the
road: STOP! This
is your corner. Do
not leave this corner until released by the Tail End Charlie(s)! However, when taking your corner, please
ensure that you do not compromise your own safety, the safety of the Run or
of any member of the public. Please also ensure that you are easily visible
for Run Participants when they reach the corner (i.e. try to park at the
corner or slightly before, not several meters behind the turning), especially
if the corner is surrounded by hedges, walls, etc. |
