Early 70's (G reg)

norton faired

I went through an "Impersonating a Police Bike" phase. Same fairing as the law used, painted with florescent red stripe along the white fibreglass. Soon gave up this guise as I found I would forget what I was riding and then have to practice emergency braking when the driver in front would 'suddenly' slow down to the legal limit :-)
Bike was Norton 650 SS Dommie


other sizes: small medium original auto

Derek, I did the same thing with an ex-police car I owned.
This was when I used to work for a living, (long time ago), ( a very long time ago).
Because I wore a white shirt and black tie, I got a lot of respect from other road users, saved me from the "travellers" once.
The good old days, we never forget them.
