SOS and Vale-Onslow
A few posts back there was one concerning SOS Motorcycles here in the sunny area known as San Antonio.

Below is a link addy that will take you to the Vale-Onslow website and history of this unique man and his brainchild. Mr. Vale-Onlsow has since passed on a few years back at age 104, yes, 104 years old and apparently was still active with motorcycles up until his death.
Anyway, go to the site and read up on this interesting individual.

Maybe it's Bodger being cack handed and semi computer literate, but things like the linky thing and the new set up make it harder to be 'puter savvy. Just saying!

ReplyDeleteManaged to bumble my way through a new post. Took me awhile to figure out how to use 'arrow' keys to scroll at certain points...probably took me twice as long as the old set-up. It did seem to load the pics and vid a bit more quickly though...
