Welcome to the club El Toro.

[size=150]Welcome to the club.[/size]
ā¦ and welcome from me
ā¦and donāt forget to join your local Branch, or to set one up.
My connection to DOC goes back nearly 40 years - bloody hell, itās hard to realise itās so long!!! - but Iām not a club member now, just a member of this forum.
I live in Thailand now, far away from the tourist spots.
I joined DOC in about 1977 when I bought a new red & white Darmah when they first appeared on the scene. Since then, Iāve owned (in no particular order) '78 900SS bevel, '78 Darmah Sport, '79 Hailwood Rep., '89 851, '74 239 Desmo and a '64 250 Daytona, probably my favourite bike of all that Iāve owned. There were also Hondas, a Suzuki, a Morini, a Sunbeam, a BMW (terrible machine!) and my last UK bike, a Triumph 675 Daytona.
I think I finally quit DOC membership in about 2007 & came to Thailand in 2009.
Iāve been Membership Sec. and Tool Hire Sec. at some time. Helped set-up a Herts. & Essex Branch in about '78 and to resurrect it quite a few years later - maybe in '89 but not sure.
I knew a lot of DOC people but contact has now been lost with all of them and I doubt that many of them are still club members, although Iām trying to re-establish contact with one who was a special friend.
Still ride a bike here but not a Ducati.
Just thought Iād say āHelloā and maybe Iāll post a some āTales from Thailandā in the future.
So āHelloā to any out there whose memory might be jogged so that they remember me from the description - not that I was ever particularly memorable!!
Ah, would you be Martin Littlebury by an chance? Iāve been a DOC GB member since '76 ā¦ and have been Secretary, Membership Secretary, Chair and Editor (several times!)
Yep, got it in one!
Jilly?
Iāve tried to get mods. to move my post to its own thread - I put it here by mistake - but no response from them yet.
