RobLittleUK's video: Celebrating Dennis 90th Birthday Check the credits too NSU Moped rider extraordinaire

Dennis did so much for the Wiltshire "Chapter" of the "Moped Club" - which was part of the NACC. He spent hours planning routes, detailing them and checking them the day before the run just in case there were roads that had been closed or potholes that had appeared. Unfortunately though, he did not check for floods as you will see which resulted to our intrepid "scout" being up to his calves in water after his bike conked out !! And the funniest that day was when he said he tried to restart it in the flood and the flywheel shot flood water straight into his face which he found as hilarious as the rest of us. Dennis owned his beloved NSU Quickly since 1967 when he used to ride it to work. He worked as a mechanic / engineer primarily on intricate sewing machines and associated equipment at the Triumph International lingerie factory in Swindon 😳. Like many of the older members of the club, they were very "handy" and if they couldn't buy a part they would make it.....or sometimes "bodge" it! If it worked, thats all that was necessary? Dennis was kind enough to help me with my NSU Quickly but was too tactful to tell me I was too bloody fat to ride a little bike like that and it disintegrated on me, one day in Berkeley!! We all hope to be able to ride down to Dorset when the weather improves and the covid lockdown is "unlocked" so we can meet up once again. Thanks for everything you did for the Club, Dennis, and have a wonderful birthday. From all the Lads at the Club !! ========= PS - the music....well I did my best but the motorcycling songs are relatively modern. Anyway, here are the music credits: 1.
