New Member and Carrier owner

[Tom Millward]

Hello Ron, I didn't meet you at Larkhill unfortunately, but we have met before at the show that used to be held at Ramsbury about 6 or 7 years ago. I brought my Royal Enfield WD/CO on it's first ever event. Unfortunately my drive sprocket came adrift on the first hill out of the village and I had to pull the chain case off on the side of the road. I spent the rest of the day trying to track the convoy down (without exceeding 30 mph as the engine had just been put together). I eventually caught up as you all pulled into Netheravon camp. The bike managed to stay in one piece on the route back!

Here's some pictures of the Carrier. Luckily all the hard work was completed by the previous owner; it runs and drives. Just need to finish it off and and find all the missing parts, which are mostly the stowage boxes and tools etc. Will post some more when it arrives at the end of June.

Ha Ha, the joys of being a DR. I think it was the following year, when again I was one of the DR's on convoy duty, where we perform the usual 'drop off' method to mark the corners. One bright spark deserted his corner and me and my mate Tim went straight on instead of turning right. We got totally lost in whatever county that is, and it started pissing with rain. Everyone else was nicely ensconced back at camp by the time we arrived 2 hours later. Ron

Looking nice, Tom! Looking forward to see her next year during the Easter training!

That's the plan Petr. Both Andy D and I plan on bringing carriers to the event next year. I have a few parts to find or make before next year, and the fuel tanks to finish off. I don't think I'll get very far running from Jerry Can!

tom don't pay any attention to richie. i'm sure you'll be able to drive the carrier just fine, especially if you stick to the speed limit (ish)

Hi Tom,
I have finally managed to get my carrier canvas out and photographed. Unfortunately having done so I now do not believe that it is an original. It is 15' x 20' but as can be seen in the pictures the only printing on it is wrapped around the edge of the sheet which suggests to me that although the WD broad arrow is visible (UK not Canadian) I cannot find any date and now think that this was in fact made out of a larger canvas cut down or smaller ones sewn together. There are eyelets in each corner and then 2 more evenly spaced along each short edge and 3 along each long edge. Even though probably not 'correct' it does the job.

and the last 3 pictures. If nothing else this may prompt further discussion!
