Summer riding.

 
 
 
 
 
First weekend of my holiday, vintage rally, working on bikes, party and swimming…..And the best weather for years……What more can a man want?
 
 
 




At the test ride, we discovered that the Ariel needed a new front brake cable to be made.











 
The Dakota DC 3 from the local airport does some flyovers at my house and makes a sound that suits working on old bikes.
 
 
 
Well I have holiday so I decided to look sharp…..Who knows, there might be some nice girls at the rally……



 
I was told by a friend that I looked like an accountant from Stockton up on Trent who has embezzled funds to get a Sunbeam.......... So much for my effort to dress up……
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
The boys are lining up.
 
 
 



Christian “Slooper” Nielsen is very cheerful today.

Reidar don`t miss a chance to use his leather hosen….I do think he shall use them more.

Well, it`s off with the tweed and leather and time for a swim…….and a cold beer…..
