I have finally spared some cash to pay for a new host for my Dragon Rally website.
www.dragonrally.org.uk (http://www.dragonrally.org.uk) is up and running, but due to the host's annoying insistence on using a file manager to upload (one bloody file at a time), it's taking some time to get everything on there.

Probably cos the host is seeing how many people will rally to drag on their files and having a laugh !

Well done Graham
-
Nice to see you've finally got it up , after much debate .
Are you looking for anecdotes ? , I'm thinking 1994 .
-
RobG's story (1994) is now up on www.dragonrally.org.uk (http://www.dragonrally.org.uk)
I have also started to add a photo section, there's a link to it on the site's front page.
Can you guys help me out... can you pass the website address on to anyone who might be interested so I can get the viewing stats up and hopefully start to generate the traffic and links that will get it back up amongst the search engine listings.
Cheers

BTW, Bruce's 1971 Elefant story has now been added. It must have been a long time ago, he wasn't on his Norton Big 4.

Propping up the bike is the small barrel of oil that Bruce has brought along to keep pace with the oil loss from the slight weep on the Norton's head.

I have added a proper link to the photo gallery and put loads more photos in there.
When you are viewing the photos you can use the right arrow button (the middle one) above the photo to start a slideshow - it's neat.

I've just added the Dragon story (2008) from the club newsletter to my dragon site. Some nice pics of club members are included too.
Bit of news - rally details will be posted later this week (or so I'm told).

I have added a lot more photos of the Dragon and Elefant rallies to the site (the photo galleries can be accessed from the menu list when you enter the site).
There are pictures of TC members galore amongst the usual ones of Jethro looking pissed.

I have added photos to the 1994 Dragon story, showing youthful versions of club members Jethro and RobG.
I will also add larger copies of the photos to the Dragon site gallery and send some to this site.
