| (2) Brakes. These are very good as we use them on our roads, but when touring at high speeds they loose their efficiency. They are quite smooth in action and there are no signs of squeak's or groans. Steering.

Average petrol consumption including warming up in garage, town work etc, etc. is 10.5 m.p.g..... f Dodd | ||
