Thanks for posting Brucey absolutely brilliant thoroughly enjoyed watching it.O k it probably left a lot to be desired when it comes to health and safety but look at the number of people employed.
Seeing how many were setting off on a ride and how they were dressed was also a delight to watch as well.
I will certainly remember how much effort went into making those bikes the next time I see one.
