[QUOTE="OMU 183, post: 172365, member: 5623"] Good afternoon from Sunny Dorset. Always had a passion for fine engineering, over the years I have ridden a lot of the rest and now its time to ride the best. What started all this? Well it was my late Uncle who took his new Bride to Germany on a 1950 Rapide back in the sixties. Some years later he sold the bike to a chap who I met some years ago when I was making enquiries. Its always good to remember the stories you were told as a youngster. This old boy (probably passed away now) flipped through his Telindex and picked out who he sold it to. I have since..............embarrassingly misplaced the scrap of paper but remember it was out near Crewkerne. The chap told me a brief but invigorating story................"Yes I remember, I bought it off a German chap" he extolled. priceless. I hope to bump into some of you at some meets. I will be the one who apparently looks younger than he is and will struggle to put both feet down when astride my dream. Cheers and ride safe Clint (VOC Member but still in the red) ;) [/QUOTE]
