The pictures remind me that this coming Sunday is the annual Pioneer Run from Epsom to Brighton for veteran motorcycles. This event always attracts the best of British eccentricity. These shots demonstrate it perfectly. Not content to hitch a wheezing ancient motorcycle to a heavy sidecar, the hopeful owner then fills it with a wife and two dogs. Obviously one wears a tie when riding such machines...and a deerstalker hat if possible too. The De Dion tricycle (I think that's what it is), being rather sporting and fast requires its owner to sport a conventional crash helmet.

I've just realised there are two dogs with the lady in the sidecar. And the one at her feet looks like it's got two noses.
Probably to make sure it got the full benefit of all that hot oil and petroleum spirit.
That was taken last year...exactly the same weather conditions and number of dogs this time! Bonkers.
