The Honda Owners Club

Now THERES an idea for the Golden Wing....how about a page each month with pictures of members wearing a HOC t-shirt when they are in a foreign country? HOC ON TOUR!

Dohh!!..why did we not think of that before?....

.......................Oh..well maybe its been 'flogged' as an idea!...problem is, not that many 'HOC' go on tour!!

Since I retired, I have ridden my bike and worn my Honda Varadero T shirt in 17 countries - 18 if you count Iran - the border guards let me stand with them in their bit of 'no mans land' before returning to Turkey

Got any piccies Barry...be great if you could start off the thread?

My old HOC polo shirt has travelled around the world with me but I don't think I've any pictures of me wearing it. I was always the one with the camera .

does wearing a national rally badge count? I'll wear mine tomorrow when on the quad bike! (along with shorts etc... and probably waterproofs if today was anything to go by!!)

I did see a man in the lift yesterday wearing a t-shirt with the words 'Living the dream' on the front so told him about the HOC and our t-shirts! hee hee hee...

Sorry for hijacking the thread Chimpy... still, as I'm here now... Todays cocktail is a Blue Lagoon - appropriate as I was fishing (in the torrential rain) this morning! I caught 4 fish (more than everyone else combined!!) yeeeharr! I was the only female and, embarassingly, the only one to use their breakfast as groundbait!!

Still... tomorrow is biking (of sorts) and that will more than make up for it!

Yasoo!

I think it was me that probably started the thread hijack, but anyway Lady Pegasus has started a new thread now to which I hope to contribute to soon .

Back to the Rally Debrief.

A lot of photos were taken by Tony from Dorset Branch and I believe were to be sold raising money for the Air Ambulance, is this still the case? I would be quite happy to purchase any shots of my bike for a good cause.

Also, would it be a good idea to have a central storage area for photos from the rally? Folks could then send their photos in for all to see (subject to file size limitations etc).

I'd love to see and buy some of the pictures that Tony took online and I'd be happy to do it on a Honesty basis knowing the money was going to the air ambulance...

...Chimpy, you must have some good pictures as well (but no self portraits please lol), would you like to contribute?
