Was only "guestimating" Ron! saw Sammy running around Cheddar, incredible, he must be in his 90's!
No returns on the rivets Rik! But I have not seen the military bike scene so big in Holland since now!!
My theory/motto on wearing out bikes is, that if you have enough of them, you can spread the wear and tear, over many bikes, and you will only do a limited amount of miles on a singular bike in the collection, and they will last a lot longer!
That's the way to do it Ian! have had my share of serious offroading too!
