Hey Paul,
You must be getting either really bored or have
something special in the top hat for this season.

I can go eat supper and possibly breakfast while these things download on dial up, but thought it might just be the 62 ? when Chris Vincent won on the BSA. Oh well

Jan and I took a look, and wondered how you could do 113 miles on a rig. Noticed the large auxiliary tanks and thought (well I did anyway) I could put one of those on and have enough fuel to make it to my fav pub in Oakville and back. If I get caught I'll just play the age and isn't this the Isle of Mann card.

Cheers!

I remember John Edyvean "running in" a motor on the Gardner early one morning in his sidecar. When I came to Canada (The traffic was very much lighter) A nice OPP officer kicked me off the Gardner for running with a flash light for a head light on my Triton race bike at night (with mufflers).
The one episode I do have a fuzzy pic of is my 300lb Newfie land lady on the platform hollering "bail it, give it to her" as went round the block at the bottom of Browns Line. we pulled into the garage and dropped the door just before the cruiser went past. most of the houses had emptied out, people on the sidewalk, about the same as when the queen went through.
