Both Tom Rawson and I got back from the Hetchins Rally this last Tuesday. We both had a great time. Tom is still traveling the Northeast on his way home so he might write to the group later. Not sure if the group wants a full detail day by day, as I couldn't recall all anyways. Later next week I'll try and send a report along to the group, but Tom and I both stayed a few nights at Len Ingram's of the VCC and who has the Hetchin's Registry. His depth of material to look at was mind boggling, but enjoyable to look at. We both met with Flash, webmaster of the official Hetchins website and Ray Etherton quite a bit. The weather was perfect, five days of sun in the 80s. We rode about 70 miles in the three days, all very relaxed riding. The folks, food and everything else was wonderful and the Brittish countryside is gorgious. Only negative of the entire trip. Mr. Rawson gave me a sample of an English breakfast spread called Marmite. Pretty terrible stuff !! I could arrange for samples if anybodies brave enough. I'll have a full CD available of the trip later next week after I get through editing the jpgs. If anybody wants one, let me know. It will be $2.00 for the disc and Shipping. Should have about 200 jpgs of the rally.
Earlier this week Andrew Moore wrote about a Hetchins Hellenic I may sell. He thought I was selling the 1971 Hellenic I bought before the Rally. That's not the one that may go on Ebay. I have a 1967 that may be listed later this week. Photos are available with full size information if your interested.
