The plan was to 'spanner' the Beauty. The clutch was very heavy, the throttle was very heavy and the engine made all sorts of noises and showed a general lack of wanting to power us along at any real speed!
Spannering actually involved establishing that the heavy clutch and throttle was not to be easily solved....the cables were fine, the heavyness was more that we were prepared to tackle. It also involved lots of people sitting on the Beauty and experiencing the experience.
We then set off to Church Stretton where we were to met Tarka on his Ural. The sun did come out once, then it started to rain, so i put the roof on and had a sleep whilst adam rode in the wet.....i was starting to like this sidecar business.
We also performed a few overtakes
The hotel:
We walked into town to meet the Ural crew....we guessed it might rain - Tarka came fully prepared - the last thing i expected him to be carrying was a small brolly!!
It was lashing with rain....it did not bode well for the next day......
