Come to think of it, I'm still riding these today – just a bit slower, and seemingly with less skill (don't know how that happened, must be an age thing)
In June this year I undertook the whole Nature Rally in one trip, in aid of Riders for Health

I was riding the same bike I still have today and in no rush to change it :)

Although I do want to restore it, it is beginning to show its age...........

Steve Bateman I think?
Yes Herman :laugh: he was and so i hear is still a prick but his sales guys were spot on and did me a good deal. Just missed a foxeye blade by a hair but in retrospect i had a great 5 years on the Kwak
