I have been in Wellytown for three days, and there I saw a queue of three cops on bikes - they looked like they were out for a training session. Couldn't make out the model, but they all had white fairings like the old days - a bit more aerodynamic than the one Winnie has to protect his chook pillion (or tank) passengers.

after market fairing and top and side boxes

Lovely. Is that a Windjammer fairing? I find the one I have is too short and a lot of air presses on my helmet. My boxes are smallish but do the job.

Had a few laughs over the years with motorists suddenly slowing down or pulling over. :D

343803 2005-04-16 03:22:00 Hi again. More years ago than I like to think.... plastic screens were coming in. with a sort of waterproof lower section to protect the legs. Our local police in Liverpool had a simple Police sign above the handlebars behind the screen . Some members of the club I was in started copying this with the word Public after a cartoon in the local rag. That really caused motorists to react. :cool: Scouse (83)
343804 2005-04-16 03:46:00 I hope those chooks wear helmets when they go riding Winston. :dogeye:
Gotta love those wee chooks guarding the beastie. :D

I wonder whether they will take turns going for a spin or whether they can all fit on the tank/pillion at once? Winston MUST remember their helmets though! :dogeye:

:D

343808 2005-04-16 07:53:00 yes its a Windjammer. I have no trouble with wind blast and my helment.
The R80 dosn't come fitted with a fairing or the side and top boxes R80R does come fitted with a fairing.

343809 2005-04-17 08:57:00 Various - "old bike", "a good do up and restore" etc etc"

Hah! And again Hah! Doubting Thomases .

Well, some fresh fuel, cleaned sparkplugs, a new battery and voila - the beast is on the road again . Took a few pushes down the street and fired immediately .

What a relief . And a joy . I'd forgotten the thrill of motorcycling . Just a small matter of fixing the starter motor, registration and WOF . Then off to relive my misspent youth . :D
