This blog started when I owned and MZ Skorpion Traveller and a bike magazine dismissed it with the phrase 'you can't tour on a single'. The Skorpion's gone and was replaced by a Triumph Bonneville which I owned for ten years. My main bike now is a 2006 BMW R1200ST. I can't be bothered changing the name of the blog, so we're stuck with it!
You certainly do, good find Norman!! Story goes there was some hanky panky with some of those girls after the photo shoots. One day I'll ask the guy who knows the story! (He picked up the bikes afterwards)
Thought you'd like them! For more 70s adverts go here: http://www.visordown.com/features/groovy-motorcycle-ads-from-the-past/19591.html Sad this is, I can remember most of these, even though I thought I'd dreamed the one with Phil Read and his missus! Yes, it was that bad!
You meet the nicest people....on a Commando?
