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.

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!

My elder sister was a rockers boyfriend in 1964/5 much to the disapproval of my very conservative parents. I can't remember what caused it but I remember my mum attacking him with a frying pan yelling away in german :o wotta palava! But it would have made a brilliant photo! ;D
