[QUOTE="highbury731, post: 53818, member: 1557"] The forks look like Norton ones, with Commando style rubber seal covers. It's odd that there is so little guard-to-downtube clearance. It's hard to judge how that was accomplished, unless the fork stantions are late Manx (around an inch shorter than normal featherbed). The sidestand is hanging ominously low. I note that the rider is wearing shoes (winklepickers!) and jeans. Hardly track racing garb. At least he has a leather jacket and gloves. In London, I regularly see despatch riders gloveless, and even see people wearing rubber flip-flops (also called jandals or thongs) quite frequently on bikes. Ok, the flip-flops and high healed shoes are usually scooter riders [/QUOTE]
