Nice pics Scunny, is that a crack opening up in the track? ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

she is all cracked on the Canterbury Plains Terry.
a nice 1937 Rudge Special, bounced a bit when pressed hard in the corners but looked like a fun ride.

never park on the apex of a corner when you forget to turn the fuel on. he got away with it but a couple of dodgy moments.
