PUB TALK
It has been a disastrous day/week/month for PUB, but a final success for AJS Mary and the Rex-Acme Villiers…
The PUB Vincent is now becoming somewhat harder to handle on longer trips, as well as hard on aged hips when starting – especially many times in a row on those trips. So it was to the more modern electric start GS500 that PUB turned for her holiday trip, even though it was to a Vincent meeting. The modern bike also has oodles of 12V electrics, for daytime light running in Europe, and for a GPS that might correct a route error or find a hotel if necessary. It is, after all, time that PUB, who spent a working life designing GPS equipment and microchips, actually got around to using one!
One would think that reliability would also be more assured – but one would be wrong. The trip started OK, although PUB was very stressed from preparations for an entirely unrelated event occurring at the same time. No matter, for it has always been usual to experience some apprehension
