I organised a ride in Plus8 via the local MSCC...................
No side-screens, and no windscreen.......it was memorable.
I then was allowed to drive (with the owner), a customer's Roadster at Ledgerwoods. Then I knew Trads were for me.
I didn't drive my Roadster before I bought it, but I did take a passenger ride.
Five years earlier I joined the MSCC so that I could suss it all out in advance.
