Yes, a good photo Ted and on here somewhere before too.

One forum member even has a poster of it on garage wall, if I remember correctly from conversion with them at a bike meeting  :)

There's some about of Brit Ekland on a CB 450 with, and owned by Lord Litchfield too  :)

A period of some great images is that.

British Lady on British registered CB750 (Marc Bolan's missus). I always thought that bike was long gone in 1977 but thanks to DVLA now publishing the last date of V5C change it was changed in 2020

RIP Francoise Hardy. They said ' you meet the nicest people on a Honda'. I still think Gilda Texter was the epitome of that on her Honda 350 scrambler in the film Vanishing Point, I'm sure Steve McQueen would have agreed as well!  ;D I won't risk a photo!

I didn't know who Gilda was - after a Google search I remembered the photo - it's a bloke thing.👍
