[QUOTE="Hudson, post: 1339605, member: 15488"] The roads are good - a bit bumpy as we took the back way, but our pace was quite sane. At least for now. Remember, I came to ride the 130hp, 400 lb café racer. And that part of the story will be told shortly. Bellys full, we set off to visit Gerry’s family, but before we could leave, an odd looking guy walks up and ogles the bike. He knows Gerry, and the two of them renew some history. Turns out the guy, Eric, is quite the mechanic and now restores vintage WWII tanks for collectors. 15 minutes later, I now know more about a Sherman tank’s synchromesh than I ever thought possible. Eric’s pal has heard the story, but he’s a patient bloke. [IMG]https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8487/29890530176_4f249a9369_z.jpg[/IMG] We fire the bikes up – second kick this time, so I am improving. The sound of these unmuffled bikes with straight pipes reverberates off the town’s stone buildings in the small square as we head out to some country roads.
