Busy busy…forgot to mention, the updates to 1949-1952 are now completed and there’s oodles of good yarns and pics ready for browsing. And I’m about two thirds of the way through 1953 with, so far, more than 120,000 words with gawd knows how many pics. Roadtests of Triumph, Beeza and Norton twins, the TT, a blazing row over the German GP, heated readers’ letters opposing the threat of a skidlid law 20 years before the anti-helmet law campaign that even got me on the streets, lots of suggested Latin mottos for the ACU, an ACU Rally that left a lots of riders distinctly unimpressed. I’ve also made a tiny reduction in the number of pics aw`aiting includes in Les Melanges; as well as a good assortment in Melange 4 you find some excellent new images from WW2 courtesy of arch archivist Francois. Merci bien, mon ami. Nuff said, back to burn some more midnight oil in 1953…ttfn.
