Andy’s in the here and now.

Thinking back to our grandparents’days, each and every ride was what we’d haughtily call an adventure ride. Riding would be done on unsealed roads, often in serious need of love and attention. Bikes had a largish front wheel, tyres had tread and ’bars were wide for that extra bit of lever-age and control.

In the days when automobiles cracked on at 40MPH, Laurie of Arabia would scream past on his Brough-Superior at ‘the ton’, often getting a bit of ‘air’, scaring the bejeazaz out of ’em. No wonder his passion killed him.
