The 60th Coventry Parade

We had good weather, we had great food, and we had realy mixed gathering of machines, including this prety MZ at rest at the lunch stop.

Martin Baylis ( holding a thing! ) and his 990cc Matchless powered Morgan Super Sports, he as owned this since 1970...I think he said he paid a few hundred pounds for it! ...very nice.

My First Wrinkly Run

Recently my friend Simon and  I attended one of our sections 'Wrinkly Runs' ...it's

always good to have a day  off work!
We met at Alan's house for around 10.00 am, drank Coffee, placed a tick on the menu for food of the Pub for our lunchtime stop. And then all proceeded at an orderly pace across country from Northampton to Warwickshire, I think about 45 miles. However the interesting thing for me was that we didn't use a route card. Alan led the way and any second rider behind the leader would 'drop off'  off and show the direction at the next road junction, and then go to the back of the line of riders. Some other sections use this method and personally I found it more relaxing ride without having to try and read a card. I could be tempted to play truant from work more often! Many thanks to Alan Bailey for a great day.
