BSA WM20 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sounds like quite a few "bigger" vehicles to look after - would you like another despatch bike to help with the shepherding? It's a '44 BSA WM20 in correct colour & spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, To be honest I can't answer that until the new year as I have to make sure all who came last year would likle to come again - its a numbers issue I have. May be a silly question so forgive if I am speaking out of turn but do you have a lot of convoy experience? If not then I would hook with Nigel and Ian and their chums and see what they get up to - they are very very good at their jobs and made A&E 2010 run like clock work. http://www.wdbsa.nl/ ..........that was until Nigel ended up in the ditch :coffee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matelot Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'll bring my WLA, not WLC as Jack mentioned previously... But, if it's outriders you're wanting, there may be a few more Harleys available this time round. They seem to be the new "black" at the moment, and a few have been bought up recently. So, with some gentle persuasion, i'm sure we can get them along. Last year there were at least a dozen bikes, if not more. They certainly help the convoy move along, and are essential if you want the tracked vehicles to behave, and not overheat etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have the correct amount of bikes again this year and those guys were simply outstanding in 2010. Again for me, it comes down to have a managable amount of vehicles. DR's working up and down the convoy can be dangerous and anymore could cause them hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
