Saturday 10 February saw five intrepid Merlin owners making their way through rain, fog, snow, sunshine and mud to the Isle of Anglesey for the 2007 Dragon Rally.
This event followed the usual format of cold weather, plenty of mud and an odd drink or two. After rain in the night, the mud developed nicely in the morning. But Sunday was a sunny day and we very much enjoyed our ride home through Wales.
We are folk who own a Merlin Sidecar. Some of us meet from time to time at various bike and sidecar events, track days, and camping weekends at home and abroad, to share a bacon sandwich and a bit of a natter.
