'Nimrod' chooses to remain anonymous,
has no truck with the Internet, but is represented by his agent,
Mr Henrik Kiertzner
whose web site can be found at www.compulink.co.uk/~landsmand/.
Tony Sleep was overheard saying
"It is nothing to do with me really as I'm on a community service placement with these
stupid old farts thanks to my Probation Officer. Don't put that in as it makes me look like a
criminal. I've only got another 8,964 hours to do."
Tony Sleep (temp editorial assistant/tea-boy, The Fettler)
(name and address withheld).
Boanerges is a well-known arctophile and thespian ( "A brooding
stage presence" - Auberon Binyamin, 1957) and has been involved with the H-PO&EC since its
foundation. He has flirted with inferior marques from time to time but returns, faithfully as
always, to his Special based on three Clubman Excalibur Manxman cylinders mounted in line on a
(frightfully) common crankcase in a custom-built British spine frame.
His personal history as a volunteer in the early days of bionic
research combined with lessons learnt from the preceding flat-
and V- twin development engines have led him, in the interests
of weight saving, to be able to dispense with the auxiliary starter
motor, and the Special is thus fitted with a 1 3/4" diameter
kick-start lever.
He was first introduced to the Graet Marque by a fellow member
of the Masons Bachelor, to the local lodge of which he has recently
been appointed Appliance Steward.
As well as motorcycling, his pastimes and pursuits include
entertaining in his yacht, "Jolly Roger", (fitted with
a H-P based auxiliary engine in addition to several novel solutions
to maritime bugbears penned by Alaric Pugh) as well as skiing.
His extraordinary performance on the notorious Hahnenkamm downhill
course is still mentioned in hushed tones at Kitzbuhel when the
racers gather to talk of old times.
Mrs Violet Thrump has no sympathy
whatsoever for the Internet, whatever it might be, new-fangled
rubbish, why can't people just talk to each other like they did
in the old days...and can occasionally be found buttering Nimrod's
crumpets.
She has gorgeous hair.
The Professor. A studious researcher who will work on a project to
the exclusion of all else, in nit picking detail. Would not be
seen dead riding any motorcycle - even a Hurley-Pugh, he's far
to sensible for that. |
