Lovely van and great number plate. Is that air conditioning via a sliding door and opening windscreen? I can't imagine it was ever that tidy when the postie was driving it.

One of my kiddies favourite local burger joints, Jolly Postie in Royston, has something similar but nowhere near as nice as a novelty ,eat-in' booth.

I enjoyed the Miners Arms bike night.  I never heard of it until John texted me.  I rounded up some club members and we headed off along the A48 to Chepstow then up the side of the Severn.  We all agreed it was a great evening's ride.
Where's that 10mm socket got to?

Aha ! I live in Winchcombe. If the DK/DS Special behaves itself, this could be my first run out.
Is it at the New Inn or the other pub by the pond; and what sort of time?
Hope to be there !

Last week was just over the bridge near Lydney,
The next south of Gloucester is 18/8 at Stroud,

Depends how far you want to travel,

I travel up to 60mile each way,

Nice night out, and a tank of petrol,

Yup and they siezed it by not running it on mix.
There were two models and i saw them both at the importers in London who were not happy that the journos had not put oil in the petrol of the one that ran mix but did on the one with an oil pump!

DKW stands for Dampf Kraft Wagen.  Dampf bring the German word for steam.  Just thought I'd share that.
