FL15 - Day 6 - Memorial Day

-
A holiday in the US and there were so many people about. At the Village there was the veteran car show. The local club brought out their cars to show off. It was nice chatting with some of the owners and of course taking some photos.

At least we have seen more wildlife than we had at the Ponce de Leon boardwalk last evening. Lots of pelicans but few landed so far.
Location: Punta Gorda, FL, USA

After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
