Hi Henk, when I saw the picture, I thought you might be hinting of getting the next Normandy trip onto the beach at Arromanche to try this ? Anybody fancy hanging off the back of their bike ?

"Roman Zair" in Hebrew is "little romance" in Frenchglish. It is an Israeli film from the 60's-70's.
The photos are from the beach of Tel Aviv,
M20 &M21 used to be common daily transportation in the country, at the time.
Hi Yoram...In that case I guess they were trying to impress the girls!!...though you wouldn't look all that impressive with severe 'sand rash' if it all went wrong.. ....Ian
I tried it last year on Omaha beach and I got in trouble with the police.They where not very pleased with me racing on the beach.
I tried to explain to them that I used to compete in the Red Bull beachrace in Scheveningen Holland at a speed twice as much as the M20 but it didn't help.
Luckily the police only gave me a warning.....
I don't want to push my luck by give it another try in 2011.
The movie “Roman Zair” (A small romance as Yoram said) AKA “Lemon Popsicle 5” Or "Eskimo-limon 5" is an Israeli movie, made at 1984, with the subject of youth and maturing at the late 50’s in Tel-Aviv.
Many British bikes are all over the movie. You can watch it on

They should have put the hysterical fat kid in the oildrum and rolled him over the edge.. . I didn't realise there were cliffs on that part of the coast...
or that an M20 could be made to sound like a Triumph!!....Ian
