Unlikely bikers

Just came across this clip from "Keeping up appearances".

Made me wonder who you've been surprised to come across on motorbikes!

Prince William was/is interested and supposed to have been spotted riding alone in Scotland.
There's a degree of anonymity when in bike helmet - which must be a real boon to some people.

Yep, both princes are bikers:

Be a short-lived biking career on that bike (GPz305). I wouldn't be surprised if the clip ended with an explosion and bits of engine casing flying across the set.

Little old ladies are the best. They love motorbikes and will tell you stories about how they went on their honeymoon on a panther 650 and sidecar.

There is an old lady in her 90s now who I see every year to vaccinate her dog. She showed me pictures of her and her husband on their bikes. Proper ones too, I'm not all that good on bikes but among the pictures I saw a vincent black shadow, an ariel square 4, a velocette venom, a triumph trident and the last one was a Norton dominator (her favourite apparently).

I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles.

People always get surprised when I say I have a bike, they often don't believe me even when I show them a picture.

I saw Tony Robinson riding a motorbike in a John Wayne film the other night! Shocked

You don't really expect Ewan McGregor to be a Moto Guzzi fan, mainly because he doesn't have perpetually oil stained hands...

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

I was surprised by one of my PCT's Information Manager who happens to be the poshest man (ever)... I struggle to speak to him on the telephone without laughing because he does sound as though he's putting it on.

Yesterday I got an email which shocked me:

Tom Cruise is another,

I remember watching a show where MV built a one-off MV Augusta especially for him & even delivered to the airport so he could test it up & down the runways.

Free of charge for him, off course.
