Who?
No he does not ride a Harley Davidson.
On the boat back from Santander there were dozens of bikers as usual.
Late in the evening I was sat in a corner of the bar and got chatting to this distinguished looking guy, quality facial hair, lovely flowing white locks.
We got round to bikes, what do you ride he asked me, and got very excited about Africa Twin's then I asked him he said Brough Superior, in a very modest tone.
I did a double take 'Brough Superior?' 'Oh only the SS80' he said as though it is a moped.
His mate almost spilled his drink as earnestly asked if he was God.
Top chap, riding a bike worth how much????? touring on it, being relaxed and good company and not having any 'Look at Me' thing going on.
When he started it in the hold of the boat it was like an earthquake, fiddle fiddle, tweek tweek, UnnnGAH! VROOOM. Beautiful to watch and listen to.
Beautiful bike, looked it's age, grimy, oily just like the man himself.
A moment to treasure.
For those who dont know what I am talking about
Very similar to the bike Lawrence of Arabia died crashing.
Value in the region of £80k.
The rider described himself as 'a bit of a mechanic'. Indeed.
Hats off to modesty.
