And, AFAIK, the only production bike with a wooden dashboard.
You're right, so much better!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Anyone notice that none of them are connected to the frame, so they're not actually doing anything!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Makes for easier wheelying, the bar rotates in your hand.
A different take on Mods and the extra lights and mirrors fitted to scooters maybe.
There's also something on the rh fork leg.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Probably just as well they're not connected, might be a bit slow steering otherwise

I did my radiograpic testing qualification's* at a place called Penistone, near Sheffield.
The place I trained and tested at was just past the railway bridge.
Same place?
*Long time ago, when I was a weld inspector and before I took up wood butchery.
The training was interesting but the crawling about in pressurised steam boilers inspecting 25% of furnace end seams less so.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Yup Penistone = Penistown.
..and it's much nearer Barnsley than Sheffield.
