Forth bridge convoy 24/2/2013

To celebrate 10 years since the formation of the Bongo Fury owners club, Sunday 24th February 2013 has been designated as National Bongo Day. What we have in mind is a series of events in various locations across the UK & Ireland where Bongonauts can get to meet each other and perhaps have a Sunday lunch.

Nice story from a guy I know of abseiling off the rail bridge to go and get an icecream in S. Queensferry, then climbing back up the rope to get back to work! :shock: :lol: =D>

The polite expession these days is Fender Defenders. References to Bulls these days is no longer permitted. Your bars might not have come 100% from bulls but may have been manufactured with a mixture of Chinese steel and horsemeat. :shock:
