Picked this book up last week while in London at Spitalfields market, I had to buy it just for the front cover!
Is the Motor Cycle a Sunbeam? I guess the only way to find out is for me to add the Dispatch Riders to my winter Reading list.
If it smells of oil or Petrol ...its in the shed.

Shock- Horror! Vintage Motor Cycles invade Leafy Suburbia.
This was the scene at the end of the Warwickshire Sections Afternoon Tea Run. After a 40 mile jaunt through the Warwickshire country side in glorious sunshine. We were then treated to cups of Tea and home made cakes served in the back garden of a fellow club member.
The Afternoon Tea Run.
And Where the riders started from, a quiet lay-by near Hatton. And very shortly the bikes started to arrive ready for the 2.00pm start of the Vintage Motor Cycle Club ( Warwickshire Sections ) Afternoon Tea Run.

The Midland Red Double Decker
When I was just a lad and had to travel on public transport the usual method was West Midland Passenger Transports fleet of double Decker buses. However there was an alternative, and that was a company called Midland Red who ran a fleet of bright red coaches, but I don't ever recall a Midland Red Double Decker
Bus.
I am rather proud of being in the right place at the right time ( John Peel ) and capturing this lovely old Bus
sitting on a box junction turning right on Corporation Street Coventry....and with no modern cars around to spoil the effect. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midland_Red

Left a Bit, Right a bit!
While travelling up to North Wales at the weekend to see a pal of mine I popped into the Station at Llanfair Caereinion for a much needed Coffee, Cake and Comfort break. While there I witnessed this brilliant bit of reversing down a small lane to drop of this magnificent Traction Engine for the September Steam Gala. http://www.wllr.org.uk/special.htm
