Trip to Wheels and Waves - Teusday - Atelier Chatokhine

After my first French breakfast this year Laurence gave me the address of her brother and dad's garage. A few miles from Chartres there is a very nice motorcycle workshop called Atelier Chatokhine. Father and son Chatokhine run the shop, both owners and racers of classic English motorcycles. They had an impressive collection of English bikes on display. Great way to start the day! Thanks Laurence for the tip

Second winner of the book Aantrappen en Vlieghappen

The second winner is..

Simon Weston from Australia.

Simon:

"Hello there

please find attached 3 photos taken by my then girlfriend Andrea ( now wife ) in 1992. My friend Dale is having fun posing on my 1961 Honda CB92. The WLA Harley I've owned for over 25 years and is still in the shed. The young lad between the New Imperial and Rudge sickles is me. Still own both of  these bikes.. Andrea took and developed all these pics.  

More pics of some locals doing there stuff. The guy flying through the air on his Honda C92 is farmer Robert Rymill. His father brought the bike new as a "farm bike" I think he landed safely !! The old Harley pic is off a local rabbit trapper who used his J-model outfit to haul rabbits to market. This bike still exist's although is not together or complete."

Great stuff Simon!
