If you look in the background of the piccies of Flap & Ska Man in the new BSH, there's a little lady aboard an Enfield. Shame you had your crash helmet on!

Had a brilliant day today as always, weather turned crap as soon as we arrived at the Doctor Banardos home - hey but who cares!

It was a really good run today, got soaked on the way home. It was getting dark by the time we left. I had no helmet or waterproofs just a woolly hat and a pair of goggles with dark lenses that kept steaming up and filling up with water, couldn't see a thing. Enjoyed every minute of it though  Smiley

There was a bit on the local news tonight about the toy run http://www.itvlocal.tv/ and click on -news and features- then -Thames Valley Today- in the video menu to see it. At the end when the presenter says "take it away Paul" you can just about see the front of my trike  Grin

Both Ska Man & Flap have got pairs of goggles with smoked lenses that belong to me. I had to wear sunglasses. Neither of them thought to take along the spare clear lenses, so none of us could see a bloomin' thing on the way home!
Both trikes got waterlogged & started misfiring in the torrential rain, as did Jacko's VW, but we all managed to limp safely home.
Was a damn good day out I thought & nice to do our bit for the kids.
Piccies now online here:
http://mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/photos.htm
though all the group shots I asked other people to take of us came out too fuzzy to use -there must be a knack to using my camera -or maybe we actually do look a bit fuzzy round the edges!
Accompanying words to follow in a couple of days.
If you're in the Southern TV area check the local ITV news bulletins this evening cos we made it on there.  Grin

Janie, we mentioned the Chop & Rod show pics in the "New issue of Back Street Heroes" thread.

I bumped into Fayji of the 100%Biker forum & Yoda's very own bikerlifestyle.co.uk forum at the toy run today.
A jolly nice chap. He spends his life roaming this land, photographing anything that moves -much like me, & seems to be at every bike event I attend, but I've never actually met him before.
He's posted a quick report on today's run & a couple of dozen piccies on his own site here:
http://www.bosunsbikes.com/days%20out%202006/reading%20toy/reading_toy_run.htm
but for those too lazy to go & look, I've nicked some of his piccies.

That's the Thames valley ITV film crew behind the speedboat.
I don't remember seeing any penguins -& you'd think you would, wouldn't you.
