Thanks for posting this.

Nice to see a CB750 was also good enough for Lord Litchfield!

Just been looking at the first couple of minutes of the video, and got a fit of the giggles!! At just over 1 minute of viewing, did really hard, tough rockers actually wear Francis Barnett insignia???

Saw this the other day and thought it looked ace. So I thought I'd share, never seen one before.

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.
