Very envious of the Kingfisher Pete.

I spotted something rare today as well - the well known Sammy Miller. If you've not had chance to go see his museum in the New Forest it is a must, lots of wonderful bikes and memorabilia. Today he was at the finish line of the annual Sunbeam MCC Pioneer Run and although the sun did not pop out until later in the day it was nice to see the old bikes duff duff duffing into Madeira Drive. I am still cold several hours after getting home and I'll upload a few more shots to my Flikr feed later in the week but here are a couple to set the scene.

Got out on the bike today.
No fab scenery as the mountains are too far and some of the roads there not been reopened yet.
Not to mention spring is a bit late and everything still looks like winter so headed the opposite direction through the rolling woodlands and farm country.
Despite still looking like winter it was warm today and the roads were clear.
Good to be out on the bike again.

Nice pic from admin!
Kingfisher is ace BP!!
And looking forward to more old bike pics fro Sir Trev!

strangely enough a horse can put out about 12 horsepower. Therefore it doesn't need a slipper clutch. Also the hydraulics work on a total loss system.

The emissions can be a bit tricky too.
