Sunday morning and it wasn't raining or snowing nor too cold for the time of year. Seemed like a good idea to get out on the Norton for a ride, the last chance before heading back to sea for work and five bike-less weeks. The VMCC Dorset Section Winter Run wasn't far to get to for the start so I headed over to Gillingham along with twenty or so other folks.

| I've had a thing for these earles forks MZs for a while. I did own one for some time but it wasn't on the road and needed a fair bit of sorting out. At the time I needed the money so I passed it on. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea but I hope to get a decent roadworthy one to experience sometime along the way. |

| AJS 650cc twin. I followed this bike on the run for a good while. Postwar AJS / Matchless bikes don't have a reputation as roadburners but this machine kept up a lively pace in touring comfort. |

| BMW R80 ST is fairly ideal for winter roads. |
