Big MAC

I spent a few hours at a Llandow this morning ,with the gang. It was nice to see some of the boys, some of whom I hadn't seen since the end of last year. My friend Rob turned up with his newly restored 1959 350cc  Velocette MAC.
Many praised his hard work, as the bike was gleaming.
When Rob decided to go home, a group of us gathered around to see the start up . Well the bets were on to see if it would start first kick, no, not the first, or the second, nor the tenth. It took thirty swings on the kick start lever, backfired. and then  it started. This bought an  enormous cheer from the boys. Rob hasn't quite got the knack of starting the Velo, and he has owned it  for many years.
