The run to Libya.
It is hard to dismiss it as just a run, but after nine years it becomes fairly familiar. Ferry to Calais, then down to Beaune for an overnight stop. On to Marseilles to catch the ferry to Tunis. 24 hours later step out into the warm sunshine of Tunisia.View this Gallery

Born to be Mild.
My pal, Don, had just bought a big Harley and wondered who would be stupid enough to accompany him on a ride to visit our mutual old mate, Leigh (a.k.a Luigi) in Italy. Up went my hand. The 'Born to be Mild' title was Don's idea.View this Gallery
