From the days when "waterproofs" were lots of layers thick enough to soak up the water till you got to work.
BTW newspaper works a treat.

Newspapers are now old hat-----progress with the "Times."

I made a "Slipover" from bubblewrap for under either textiles or leathers and I was amazed ,waterproof and warm-----so simple and dirt cheap..

Possible a C15 or such,looks small?????---going by the Reg No I would estimate it to be late 40,s or very early 50,s

My Franny was a 52 it didn't look that modern and only had 3 speed box. At 16 it was WOW. My Dad gave it me for my 16th and my Mum paid for my licence.

Puch Maxi - as a kid to ride around the garden
Honda CB100N - piece of crap but got me around when I couldn't afford a car
Suzuki TS125 - replaced the Honda when it died
Suzuki Bandit 600S - my first 'big' bike purchased new once I'd passed my DAS
VFR 800i - wonderful bike, would have had another except for the VTEC engine
Suzuki Bandit 1200 - bought from a mate of mine who had to sell it to finance his GSXR1000 - he begged me to sell it back to him just over a year later as he missed it so much (I did)
KTM LC40 - fun for about 9 mths then got bored with it, oh & the build quality was crap
SV1000N - bought new & still in my garage

BMW R1200GS - replaced the VFR
BMW R1200GS Adv (x2) - (1) replaced my original GS because the deal I was offered was too sweet to refuse (2) - replaced (1) due to the fact that the front & rear shocks both 'blew' just after warranty expired which led to a very unhappy me getting another very sweet deal from the dealer as 'compensation'
