Yes was at that rally,went on my yellow rally 200, me and my mate Davis on the back and my mate Mark on his brand new p200 running in! Took us 12 hours riding through the night to get there! Unforgettable

A long way to go in those days with no back up or recovery .How old would the Rally be then Bern ?

Andy said...

The lack of back up or recovery was cancelled out by the naivety (stupidity) of youth...

Recovery was not needed , it was a new Vespa not Lambretta !
