Anyone else go to last weekends open days?
I had a great ride over to the Cotswolds and passed through a FAB village called Deddington. About 250 miles round trip with no rain on the Saturday!

Yup, I was there and it was DRY! Nice to see lots of bikes and enjoyed cheeseburgers and ice cream. Glad I went. Liked the forward control Land Rover, too. Anybody know whatthey are exactly? Any details?

Yep, I was there on the Saturday, and my mate came too on his red Honda Bros 400 - which attracted as much attention as my Electra XS!
Nice dry weather all day.
The forward control LR is a military vehicle. It has Range Rover type axles I think and a low compression Rover 3.5 V8 engine.
I used to belong to a Land Rover club, these forward control Landies are brilliant for the terrain Chris. I'm sure others know more about them than me though.

Nothing official yet Grunda 12, but rumours are Conti GT in 2013 and a twin after that! I'll have one of each please.
