The Quick Quacks Motorcycle Club
I somehow got elected Chairman of this group. I suspect a conspiracy.
I am, however, honoured to have been voted to this position and really ought to do more to earn the title.
Most of the work is done by our much respected Secretary "Doc Sarah".
Please visit the site she runs on our behalf HERE.
