catgate Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 A very, very sad picture for me, which ever side you turn it. My motor cycling day are long gone, as are my dear wife's. For many years we would hook the motor bike trailer up to the Tabert camper van and load the BMW on to it and set off on a trip somewhere for a few weeks. Somewhere was anywhere from between the top end of Scotland to the bottom East end of France, Barcares was particularly favourite area (French Med. site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ah! those were the day's. I remember them well. Just hoping on my bike with a tent and few bits and pieces in the panniers and a few bits on the passenger seat and off I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Now while I appreciate all the ex bikers lamenting the passage of time, may I suggest a two seat sports convertible automobile, preferably with a CC folding hard top. Fairly practical transport and wind in the hair (what little is left of it) fun when desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belatucadrus Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have a long history of driving convertibles and coupes and have always taken the view if it's good fun go for it and whatever you do never ever give a toss about what anybody else may or may not think. Seeing a balding middle aged fatso driving a nice open top car with Japanese metal blaring out genuinely freaks some people out, you'd be amazed how little I care.

AlanHo Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 I had scooters and motor bikes in my yoof - in fact I served my engineering apprenticeship at a small engineering firm that was sub-contracted to build the Wooller clubman bike in the 1950's. It was an all aluminium, semi streamlined, shaft drive flat four aimed at competing with the BMW's. It cost more that the Austin/Morris Mini at the time. However, it was not a success and they stopped making them after a few years - I think it might have been when old man Wooller died. And yes - I did get to ride one - quite a potent but refined beast. https://www.returnofthecaferacers.com/something-different/magnificent-wooler-flat-4/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 A bit before my time Alan. Can't say that I have ever seen one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
