Hi Scaly just back from NEC bike show and thought you might like these photos

I could do with that in the tourist season.

WOW, Thanks Steve, What a combination. Had that been mine, with the machine gun, I would have called it "Vickky".



It would certainly 'cut down' the queue for the car park!

Cool. Though why does it have a 'Telephone' symbol underneath the machine gun on the protector? (Bet you scaly knows!)

It's not a telephone. (I think I just fell into the trap but I'll carry on....) It's the War Department "Broad Arrow" symbol used by the WD from the 17th century onwards (?) to indicate military equipment or sometimes locations used for surveying. The big question is why it needs one when it has a dirty great machine gun on it! Royal Enfield built some of these things (outfits, not the weapon) too but I don't know if any survive.

REGards, Mark
