Ive Got a photo of me sitting on one of them. they used to do the rounds for “Mobil 1” displays. He was one of my hero’s and the bikes are awesome but I read the book and you come away with a lesser opinion. Shame.

Yes i heard the same about him, but never anything concrete. Just he was a bit of a user.

Lovely bike the VDuo but I'd have the fuel injection ripped off and the carb kit installed so it runs properly!

I like to have a look around lifeboat stations for the lifeboat and its launch/recovery vehicle.
Newquay (Wales), this is not the recovery vehicle, presume its used to blade the beach after storms. The station was closed due to you know what so couldn't see what was at the other end of lifeboat.

They have a similar ^^flash new tractor in Scarborough, which carries the lifeboat some distance across the sand before it gets wet. (It's quite an operation to watch as a spectator..and probly the most expensive vehicle in Scabby )

Saw this Bristol 411 in scotland last week while heading to Glasgow from Cairnryan.
Nice to see them getting used for a change.

There's a real 70s Ford look about them, front also looks very Granada.
Door handles look BL, maybe Marina but too short I think.
