At present I ride a BMW K75c.
But
I've had many bikes,
BSA
(W)M20 c1941
My
Harley WLA c1942
Harley as purchased
for £400 in 1981 from Pratt's in Greenwich.
This photo was taken on the Lincolnshire film set of "The Last Days of Patton" starring George C. Scott, in June 1985. We are General Patton's Military Police personal security squad.I'm the lean/mean one on the right of the picture with my Harley-Davidson WLA. We got the job through Tony Oliver who is TLO Film Services
I hadn't fitted the Thompson Machine gun
scabbard or the ammo box to the forks and the pannier bags are not correct
either, the uniform was supplied by Morris Angel. That's my mate Peter
on his WLA to my right and Pete Gray's bike ridden by Dick, is the one
on the far left. It was an interesting experience and the pay was very
good. My hair was too long they gave me £25 to cut my hair!
