Grrrrr.
Mr Dazzle has got it completely wrong with his fancy pipe bending machines, mandrels and skill to make them, welded up and on show expansion chambers are in fact, glorious and spectacular to see.
Not so sure that Dazzle ever railed against lobsterback bends on spannies, just on zorsts.
Well, more specifically fourstroke header pipes.

All standard bikes I spotted on a wee walk round Biarritz.
Oddly back in the day when I was poor I could name just about any bike from 100 yards. Now that I'm not poor there's ooodles of manufacturers standard bikes I didn't even know existed !

It looks rather startled.
Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

With those tyres it should have both wheels driven like the Rokon Scout. That'd make sense.

Get that front wheel driven and it would be v handy. Certainly better looking than the Rokon.
