[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 111695, member: 456"] To me the list is fascinating. One of my friends owns a 1909 Douglas and has a copy of the 1910 booklet/handbook which came with the bikes in that year. This booklet is full of recommendations from people who own the previous years model and have done thousands of miles on their bikes in the year over all sorts of roads, Welsh mountains etc. When one considers the state of the roads in those days, the type of riding gear and the type of suspension offered, then even with a cut down version of the list then these were hard men.
