Rode to work on the bike, then through the center of london and onto Banbury. A 30 minute ride to Buckingham to pick up 'Black Beauty':
We (Adam and I) have borrowed a 1981 1100GL Honda Goldwing with a Wessex side car. Adrian (ably assisted by son Jack) ensured the outfit was ready to go when we arrive. The ride home took twice as long.....we did hit 64mph at one point. Normally Adam would be racing superbikes.....now, we were flat out and just keeping on the tail of a 1998 VE63.
By a complete bit of luck, there was a rally of other side cars going on on the way back to Banbury....we took a liking to this beauty:
A 1942 Zundapp KS750. Room for 3 troopers, and a trailer. 4 gears plus reverse and a high/low splitter!!
Then, it was back in the 'chair' and a late night chinese takeaway at Chez Atkins - of course, we had to do a lap of Banbury town center first. It woooed the local ladies!!
