Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Its amazing no one is wearing their goggles,well the ones at the back might be.mind you i never wore mine on the goldie and allways had a roll up in me gob,any speed over 50 and it would glow like a fuse on a stick of dynamite,then stick to your lip,and you couldnt get rid of it wearing those ruddy gauntlets. i would like the chance to do it all again:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 369 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 only on a goldie because you are lucky to get over 50 on an m20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I have a feeling that the picture is a still from newsreel film. British Pathé's site is not working at the moment so I can't check there. Judging by the front brake on the left-hand side and the elegant mudguard rib, I suspect that the majority of those bikes are not M20s but Norton WD16Hs - The machines that the WD chose for the Army before the exigencies of war forced the use of lesser makes upon them.
