I had a fantastic time at the rally, too (my first International). I did wear my forum t-shirt - for a few days. As Muskrat has encouraged us, I believe that it's to recognize each other, and make a personal acquaintance. I did actually put a call out, quite awkwardly (on my iPhone, at the rally). This thread is on the "members chat" child board, and thanks for those replies. As I then recorded, I was pleased to track you down (by conversation with Steve Arthur), Trevor (BSA_54A10), and have a brief chat - thanks. I was sorry that you couldn't make it, Muskrat (Trevor explained, you were shifting house). I connected with you, too, Thomas - and now realize you are "Beeza". Of course your Project Daytona thread has been fascinating, on this forum. Seeing your actual project and the story - was a highlight, of the rally. Then the actual dispatch record, for the same bike, being part of Brian Pollit's talk - was a bonus. You and your committee were fantastic. I hope this upload of a picture of the 3 of us (me on left) works - we did most of the planning, to get our own bikes, very successfully, there and back from NZ. Not shown is our octogenarian "mascot", Graham Stott - although that's his 1950 Gold Star, behind. He presented the gift from our club, and delighted us with his running starts (jumping on side-saddle) and backfiring loudly through all the quiet towns. I'm now trying to attach what we call our "normal view" of him..
