Dragon Rally

Dilligaf. I've been reading the posts with interest. I went to my one and only Dragon in 1976, bloody freezing, thick mud, but least it wasn't blowing a hooley. Glad you got back safely mate. I hope the rally badge was worth it .

 

Ooops he says - what rally badge

Not that he bothers too much with them -

 

What No kite !!! Or canoe

 

Do you think he got a Blue Peter badge or a Jimll Fix It badge when he was younger?

 

I got 1 badge and 1 coaster, along with 70cl of Glenmorangie, Mars and snicker, prob because I peed off early ‘cause I might melt if it rained!
Wind blew my mag tank bag off near the Marble Church at Bodelwyddan.
In it is my TomTom and charging wire for phone.

Bloody hell, hope you were able to retrieve it mate....

 

Did you find it?

 

Do the badges mention the words twat & storm Dilli?

 

Never gave a thought to retrieving it, didn’t even slow down, plus, nowhere to safely stop anyway,and, on top of that, traffic was pretty heavy.
Ken.

 

See post higher

No, didn’t even slow down, not safe to stop there.
Ken.
PS. I had previously tested the bag up to an indicated ton without it moving.
So I think it must have been a combination of the bike speed and the weather wind speed and direction, because, the wind was coming right to left (Had to keep adjusting to stay in lane, riding with a lean on most of the time) but when the magnets lost interest, the bag took off into wind to the right.

 

Still got my old cut off and look what’s still on it

 

Get that Whisky down you mate, that will keep the cold at bay

 

I agree. I'm amazed the whisky survived the night.

 

Bad luck mate, that is a right pain....

 

I went to the Dragon rally twice, the second time because I thought it can't be the same as the previous year with the snow, mud and freezing temperatures.
I was right, it had all of the above and gale force winds.
