bikes not motorcycles
I thought readers may like to know about a great film I watched last night it's called the Flying Scotsman and is the true story of Greame Obree who was world champion cyclist riding his home made bike.
It's a great wee movie and very much reminds me of how governing bodies react to mavericks and non conformists............well worth renting

You can see a trailer here

Have you read his book? He's an interesting and complex character.

That looks brilliant, Cargo. Is it a recent movie? I shall keep my eye out for this one.

Jan I reckon in about two hours or so from now I'll have my own copy :wink:

PM me a snail mail address and I'll send you a copy :wink:

Not that I would have anything to do with illegal downloading or anything
