Forgot to mention an example of Gordon in his traditional form. We had stopped at a road side Chia (strong sweet milky tea) outlet where a round cost one pound 60 pence for 15 cups. The stop was near a junction and a local man and his girl approached the junction on a diesel Royal Enfield motorcycle. As he was stopped to give way Gordon politly asked the rider if he could have a go. without hestitationThe rider gives up his prized possession and willingly allows Gordon to have a blast down the road. He returns suitably impressed. both Gordon and the owner grining from the experience.
How inexpensive is India? The other day I went to the opticians in Devizes and learned that an eyesight test is now 30 pounds sterling.(Indian keyboard no sterling symbol) Roger Peter'Budge went down to S & M Street in Calicut on Thursday, had an eyesight test and new specticals with prescription lenes supplied for 22 pounds within three hours.
As I was riding today, really enjoying the weather and the riding conditions I thought how much Rodney Elford, Tweed and Ric Harris would enjoy such a holiday as this. Start thinking about it you chaps for next year. It would give me encouragement to come again knowing that I was introducing an adventurous holiday to somebody I am convinced would enjoy the experience. Regards Nigel Ellis
