I had loads of parts chromed in the 80s, including fork sliders and all the engine casings. Some Kwacks of that era started coming with chromed engine casings, seem to recall the Z1300 was one.

HD lover, how very dare you, can't stand the things. Better suited to ploughing fields IMO.

Clearly you never saw the 500 Benelli six that the drummer out of Slade owned, now that was OTT.

It was Dave Hill and a 750 Benelli six, still around as well.

For the record Dave Hill was not a drummer…..some say he wasn’t a guitarist either, but they would be very wrong. I thought Slade were a good band actually and knocked out some good tunes.

Knew that Phil. I thought it was the drummer but after looking it up on Google I noticed it was Dave Hill who was the guitarist. I saw that bike at the Belle Vue bike show around 75-76 IIRC, I seem to recall the colour scheme was different then but I've since read he had 3 sets of paintwork done for it and changed them around every year. It was the most metallic paint I'd ever seen, done by Dream Works, it was so metallic it looked like it would cut your hands if you stroked it.

Either Bryan, HD are the only bike to come with plough attachments on the swinging arm  ;D ;D

Sesman:
 I knew you would know, but I was thinking of the wider audience….details, details..😀

Oddjob:
He's still touring as Slade, only one left so he claimed the name. Noddy was thinking of reforming the group for some performances. They are all still alive so it may happen.

Bryanj:
Why bother, Noddy still says Merry Xmas is his pension fund!
