Yes, that was a bit of a stab in the dark. Looks kinda '50s/early 60s though.
I think it's fair to assume that the designers (Margaret Calvert and Jock Kinneir?) had never ridden a motorcycle.

It has no fuel tank (so it's not anything obvious, although LE was a good guess) and looks v uncomfortable, so not an LE then. :D

Nope. There are no image links posted in the Image brackets. If you try to reply to your post you'll see what I mean.

I thought the point was to “go” somewhere on your bike? Not just another “here’s my bike” photo….

Restaurant wasn't specified, just said "oriental". Pic was taken during yesterday's 202 mile ride, so I did go somewhere.
