| 4 TO BH FROM H.W.O road to off Passes liking. I have ridden in the back of the whole of the tour and can say, for the speed and cornering I've never rode in a Derby Phantom with smoother riding and road holding qualities. Of course going slowly over pavé you could not call it springing. We must have quicker changing wheels. The present Derby design is hopeless for quick changing. You cannot get the serration to enter you knock the key way out the other before the exact to a thou, limit is obtained. The head lamps should swivel as part of it that is during the night chiefly on losses and with the result your beam of light shoots over the side when cornering and you are left perfectly blind. A spot lamp is useless as it makes a blind spot the same as an outside mirror. | ||
