Re: Some club outfits
Found another nice shot, this is New Forest's "Road King Alan" (background) at his wedding, don't often see side by side seating eh? (he took it up to Watsonian to have fittings made and professionally set up, think he also had a tow hitch fitted..?)

Re: Some club outfits
Here is one from the archives, no idea who it belonged to but it is rare to see Forty-fives postwar still in military trim, people were usually very quick to civilianise their machines. Often an attempt would be made to try to look like the Big Twins, a couple of people fitting Sunbeam S7 front ends as they looked similar to the HydraGlide forks - apparently the Sunbeam front brake was no improvement...

Past Tool Hire Officer now froggie ex-pat Stuart Graham (on here as Rowdy) has sent me this one of his WL and chair next to the famous kids on bikes sign at PPort Eliot. I remember him going there from north-west Kent and saying what a queue of cars were stuck behind him!

Re: Some club outfits
Here are some shots of Ernie Jacob's outfit, though no longer with us Ernie's son Steve is a member and has shared many of his dad's old photos with us. These are from a family holiday and the first included some fancy dress! (nice old car in background)

Re: Some club outfits
Found another interesting shot, from the Poker Run of 1990. Though you cannot see much of the chair (think it might have been another Monza?) the important thing is Will having brought a lift up trailer tent. This was because, as you can see, they had to bring their baby and this was the answer. Haven't seen Will for years, if anyone kept in touch do please let me know.

My First Harley Outfit......So it has turned the pic on it's side.
So screen grabbed and put it the right way up which filled the whole screen and it said "Oops we ran into a problem" The message is too big.
