I'll setup a flag pole for you to snatch

could i have a a go in the sidecar/machine gun part. oh if im in anyones unit i be one of the first to volunteer for medic

Is there going to be any difernt vehicles than motorbikes?

Yes - vehicles are an Intrinsic part of Gunman's games.

Get in! Do you have any idea what vehicles they have?

lol be cool if half tracks were there or even a proper supply lorry type thing with machine gunner turrets

For deffo there will be a couple of troop carrier trucks for rapid troop movement...

I cant wait for this even if i have to sit in the back

just get better and better so cant wait now

tinys drove all kinds of bikes trikes and quads

ive done bikes and trikes but not an outfit, but i wouldnt go at speed anyway.

i should imagine its like an off centre trike, old un ?????

if i was driveing the outfit, it would have to be a low speed, due to safety, both for the crew AND other players on foot. it would be more like a dispactch rider/recce role, no use at all in a firefight

also if i was hit by BBs, i would have to stop SAFELY but PROMPTLY therefore it must be driven at a low speed, no point being "hit" and stopping 300 yds down the road

stubblehopper, pauls wondering do you have a MG mount on the sidecar, if not he will put his 42 on his lap

Drving an outfit .....in one word ....it's a bitch .

....you can't lean , you have ot steer ....it's obvious really when your mate hands you the keys ....but wait till you come ot a corner and your reflex bike senses take over...and leaning doesn't work . So you have ot steer, but worse... you've then run the car's wheel over the kerb etc because you've no idea of how ot judge it , or worse the sidecar comes round too quick and lifts off ...now try leaning , but opposite ot the corner ...in complete reverse to normal cornering on a bike ....to put the car down again . Finally you come ot a stop and put your feet down , whilst your mate laughs because you don't have ot put your feet down on an outfit.

Ah all good fun and a good 13 years since I last rode one .

Add to this the fact that Stubble's is probably very heavy, has the car on the wrong side , and has reverse drive . I'm sure we'll all have fun , but probably sat in the car not on the saddle

yeah no leaning on a trike either though i did try at 1st

our kid put his feet down on his trike, then they went under the back wheels, ripping him off the seat

also while im here look at this

REMEMBER THIS TINY
just to clarify, it way my brother who got the helecopter ride not me

cant wait to see the outfit been wanting one for ever.if i dont get to d day maybe another event

Thanks very much for the reminder. I stopped breathing on the beach(briefly), lay there for an hour until the coast guard got there(air ambulance was to expensive), hence the RAF Sea King.
6 months off work and it still hurts my chest when I lie flat on my back and breathe in. Oh, and a massive lump on my leg which "will be there a maximum of 6 months" and is still there 3 years later.

Never trust a welsh doctor. Thick as f*#k they are. Gave me paracetamol for the pain(I was screaming for morphine). Not a nice experience on the whole. Wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy.

Oh, but I got straight back on it as soon as I could walk again. Wasnt gonna let it get the better of me!!!!!

I been driving a yamaha dragstar for 3 years had to get rid of 3 months ago would of cost more to fix than scrap

thats prob not the best selling point but lets just say the choice was a 60mph BMW or a wall. I picked : Brake. screeeech, wall.

excellent news

Fantastic 'war wheels' programme on zundapp and BMW german motorcycle combinations.

You know they were so well engineered they cost three times as much as a kublewago each and were powerful enough to pull stuck kubles out of mud?

60% drive ot the main wheel 40% to the car or you could pull the differential lever and put 100% on the back

Few pics of me on the real omaha beach well the second one is Point Du Hoc it just looks good.
