..well a hardly conclusive or scientific poll, but here goes..
The Rider by Tiim Krabbe storms ahead with 5 points, joint 2nd first losers were ‘Put Me Back on the Bike’ and ‘Flying Scotsman’ with 4 points apiece, coming in at 4th (strangely appropriate in a way) was ‘In Search of Robert Millar’, 3 points and lantern rouge ‘Dog in a Hat’ 2 points.honorary mention goes to Zaskars fave, the ‘Haynes Manual’.. although he failed to mention which one but i take it to be the Bike Maintenance version, but it could be the Vauxhall Nova 1.1, who knows eh!
cheers, ta ,lovely. 321 dusty bin etc etc
