in nineteen hundred and twelve the dutch came and the oxford motor club entertained them and we went all round the high wycome area,cophill and that on hill climbs, so we re-enacted it last year and i was riding my nineteen fourteen motorcycle, and i was asked — i was the oldest rider — how old are you?— i said eighty years old — and what is your biggest difficulty?— and i said getting my leg over, which i really literally meant because the saddle's very high and i do have a job getting my leg over the saddle!
