"I hope everyone appreciates the tremendous contribution Mick makes to this list. "

I hope so, too, I learn more from a single post from Mick than one could hope to find on one's own in a month of searching. Just splendid material. Even better 'cause it's on British bikes. One of Mick's posts on the glories of British racing in the classic age or wonderful arcane "Where does he find this stuff?" bits of detail sends me into an inspired frenzy of Hinduminium polishing or Proofhiding oval badged Brooks... So many thanks indeed Mick.

Me, I spent the weekend on my '48 Lenton Clubman and '48 RRA after having a nasty (but not serious thank god to machine or me) accident on my Peugeot. British Luck won the rest of the day(s)...
