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.
