Dear Friends,
I succeeded in posting a picture, exactly as Gianluigi posts further down this page. Easy peasy actually!
Look out now!

Fredrik,
Nice bike, not as safe as the Volvo though!
Congratulations on mastering Image Shack.

Dear Nic,
I rebuilt it from more or less scrap. I was allowed to root through the rubbish at the back in Hitchcock's store near Solihul looking for unique bits and eventually ended up with a complete set of parts for very little.
It took ages of work.
But my eyes gave me a lot of trouble over the last three years, and I actually was banned from driving for a while, and used only a push bike. Eventually I was given the all clear, but I feared failing the number plate test, so refrained from taking the bike test. Failing would have lost me the car license as well, and I was content to accept the consultant's advice that I was legal, rather than take the risk under test conditions. I sold the old bike quite badly. I had great fun with it for all that!
My eyes are better than they have been for years now, and I feel safe on the road again, as well as merely legal..

Good effort fredrik, I hear they still make those bikes under license in India. I have a plan to go there one day, buy one, and spend a few months nutting around. What other pics can we expect next?

Dear Erik,
I posted a few of me and the set on the Owners And System Pics thread in the Hifi Corner, which I think we can take it as being more or less self parody!

Mine would be much worse - you are a very brave man, Fred!
