A couple of early Epitaph Riders worked for the old man way back just North of Parnassus when i was a young fella,have always remembered one of em called Albert who rode a BSA,bloody good bloke.Fwiw.

Really struggling to understand all the fuss now.

1. Dudes pull a dick move
2. Ppl all go "doh what a dick move"
3. Dudes go "whoa, we fucked that up, what a dick move!, our bad, sorry bout that"
4. Ppl that were there go "Dudes - that's ok, don't do it again"
5. Dudes go "Chur"
6. Lots of other ppls go "That isn't good enough for me cos I'm a special snowflake, and now I'm all offended and shit, even though I wasn't there, but I never liked those dudes anyway"

You've missed the main point. They were riding Harleys. People have a right to be offended.

Not a man (??) with a military mind are you ...

Most landings start before dawn. The aim (in all beach landings) was to have the foot hold on the beach when the sun came up. Do it in daylight ... makes you an easy target.

And dawn varies ... at various locations around the world ... during the various times/seasons of the year ....

I've even been to a Dawn Service at 8 am ... go figure

My bookshelf would prove you wrong.

The 2nd Division has been my fascination for a long while now - probably at the expense of other military knowledge.

I bow before you.

All you to do now is learn to read ... just looking at the pictures won't tell you all you need to know ...

...my computer skills let me down and inadvertently I blinged FJRider which was converse to my wish...I'll just have to retract it by calling him a bore...not to be mistaken for a Boer or a boar...just a common old garden variety bore...
