    Joe,
    I just about remember riding from Heywood to Pirbright on a C15 somewhere around March 1962.
    It was to watch a “100 Mile Scramble”. Took me forever and a couple of days of hard riding.
    Don’t think they do those any more? Anyone else remember the 100 mile scrambles?
    Ken.

    Went looking for tank bag at Bodelwyddan - no joy. Contact police in St Asaph to see if anyone has handed it in.

    stollydriver,
    I had forgotten that bag and contents ever existed before you posted.
    Thank much for making the effort, but I thought it would probably have been run over many times soon after leaving the comfort of the tank. :confused:
    Cheers,Ken.
    PS. If you want to call the police and they have the bag, you’re welcome to keep it along with contents.

    Some picture here fro Dragon.
    These are taken from Conwy Motorcycle Club fb page.
    Ken.
    PS. The only injuries I Heard about was a young lady had an off when she slipped on a roundabout between checkin and Rally site, and a chap fell off at the entrance/exit and went off in the Ambulance to get a leg ligament re attached, so he was away overnight.

    Doesn't look any worse than when I went in the late 80's.
    I'll try to remember to scan some photos at some point that look very similar :D

    :)Seen two Rocket’s leaving just before me and was very impressed by how they sort of ploughed their own furrows and got out no problem :cool:

    I'm shocked - been riding Rockets for 8 years and there is No way I would take onto a muddy field. As you say - only the brave (or barmy):D:D

    You seem to be struggling to maintain an erection when things get a bit “mud-pie”?
    Is that an after affect of Jack, or is it simply that you try to put it up too quick in your excitement... looking at picture nine, you seem to be surrounded by some impressive erections that have lasted the night whilst yours has gone limp in the dirt...

    was the badge you were given a rusty sheriff’s by any chance
