I like the idea of opening a shop on the Kings road, wonder if it is still there.  What a fantastic glimpse of how motorcycling captured the imagination of a wider audience in the 1970s.  I love that what binds us all together, regardless of anything is a love of motorcycling.

Thanks for posting Nigel, some great footage there although I did half expect Dick Emery to appear at some point  :)
What is depressing is what has happened to the spoken word since the 70's, all these riders were very well spoken, even the 16 year old on L plates. There was no effing and jeffing and the now usual 'no but yeah' phrase that is so annoying.
As an aside to his lordship riding a sohc750 in the 70's, in the mid 90's both he and his son bought matching new Triumph Daytonas from of all places, Daytona Motorcycles in Ruislip (who are still there but who are no longer Triumph (or Ducati) dealers but who are now Kawasaki and Suzuki dealers. Their visit prompted a big front page splurge in the local paper at the time.
