One of the highlights for me from an early German Rally was riding my 'A' Rapide alongside John on his 'A' Rapide and the engine notes going in and out of sync. Pulling up at a junction and car drivers fascinated by these two old machines with the hair pin springs whirring up and down.
John's very pregnant wife on the standard pillion pad of his bike. could have resulted in an emergency stop !
When we moved to Dorset for a short time we soon discovered that John's brother lived a few doors away.
Memorable days still bringing a smile to my old face. Ron Thomas.
