    You may be in for a long wait then as it's proving difficult to locate the correct model of an M-72. :(

    Ha Ha! There were a few variants of the M72 made over the years...M72, M72M, M72N

    I already have the MG ready to mount on the sidecar. :)

    My barbed wire jumping days are over...

    That's actually a Triumph that Steve McQueen rode in The Great Escape! ;)

    Indeed he did, Martin...

    And you should also believe what is written on the packaging of your food, if it says beef then it's ermm...beef! :rolleyes:

    And me? Well I don't care because I'm a vegetarian! :D

    I have quite a trip ahead of me to get the bike as it's located in the Netherlands! :eek:

    However, there is one consolation and that's the fact that I'll pass Arnhem...SCREECH!(of car tyres)...detour...Arnhem...Oosterbeek...etc...;)

    I'd also like to get to Amersfoort while I'm over there?

    Arnhem-Amersfoort is motorway and only about an hour if you go via Utrecht. It's worth it . I was there last month and if you avoid the peak hours in Utrecht, you'll be fine

    If it's Quorn ham then I'm fine with that!

    Skip, I'll be there over a weekend later this month, so the traffic should hopefully be lighter.

    Don't hurry, it's usually not wise going too fast around Arnhem .
