But who remembers the lovely Twiggy riding a Honda Express pulling up and saying “You meet the nicest people on a Honda” in a TV ad

Post by: K2-K6 on July 13, 2019, 12:40:38 PM: I didn't realise until posted above that she'd ridden as despatch rider too.

There's quite a few pictures on various bikes around so obviously fairly familiar with them it seems.

Here's another, after which you may be in need of a sit down Dennis ;D
