'I say Ginger, we ought to get one of those before we fight the mighty Meckon on his transolar disc!' The styling of these things is just brilliant. I had a big Bernadette with the firemans helmet front mudguard. A truimph of styling over practicality but simply stunning to look at. Not a computer design package in site. Brilliant. Not so sure about boosting attendance with manikins but I can think of a few events where they might be more interesting than some of the live attendees! Better dress sense too!

Yes Pierre was with us, with Anne-Marie. We had a beautiful weather all the week-end, and we had a good time together.

The bike Liberia numbered 49 was presented. It won the Bol d'Or in 1957 with an Ydral engine. The pilot, Gilbert Guignabodet, was with us. He is a very pleasant guy.

A report on these two days will be available soon on the site of the club Ydral France : www.club-ydral.net (http://www.club-ydral.net).
