I saw this Type4 whilst riding home from work, earlier this afternoon

I misread the ‘Bilbo’ at first…….

I was near the old (replaced) swingbridge

I went across the swingbridge, along the side of the Aire & Calder Navigation Canal, then upstream alongside the River Calder, on the old railway embankment

I've seen loads of the 'brick' stickers, but my 'brick' is fast.... might need a 'fast brick' sticker... or 'fast washing machine 2000 spin' LOL
It actually catches a load of folk out. Was getting 'bullied' last year by a lad in a Passat on the M56 near Runcorn, but I couldn't go faster as cars were in front. He went to undertake at the moment the traffic moved, so I pressed to go 'pedal' and left him for dust.
