[QUOTE="johncrispin, post: 47183, member: 53"] Yes trepidation also, generally a good prog', some really lovely original footage and not too many of the same ol' same ol' shots. A great shot of Wal Handley who was encouraged in his early days by HRD , but no mention of him by name. Something of a flavour of an obituary about it and the invevitable nostalgic look back at the sixties.. er rods mockers etc etc. How about couple of follow ups with a big up for the necessity of two wheeled transport. Perhaps something which promotes knighthoods for John Bloor and John Surtees or is the same old anti bike Brooklands style snobbery still alive and well in the uk ?? I say yes it is but has transmogrified into rendering biking beyond a marginal pursuit and rendering it vitually invisible. We need something open minded to counter the over regulation by bureaucrats here and abroad ,in the face of massive car cultcha and its attendant congestion. Then by some miracle we might have some m/cycle licence holders able to use our lovely old Vincents, ok rant over now time to go out to fix my old motorbikes while I am allowed to ride 'em. [/QUOTE]
