I see there's a couple on eBay just now for silly asking prices and you can still buy new visors for them on there, as well.
Only downside of the large deep visor was if you sneezed it went all over it rather then below.

So they didn't take Suzuki up to Altens from the arches under the railway line?

Nobody for RE in Aberdeen or Dundee yet?
haven't heard of that yet. i would be good to have a full range of franchises in the north and east. of course mitchell do yamaha in inverness but a fair bit away.
Anyone mention Eddie Tasker on Broughton Street or Reid Allan Patterson, just around the corner? Or LH King on Dundas St, with the creepy fecker watching the shop via a full length mirror on the mezzanine level at the back!

What was the about "Mea Culpa"...?
Yes, I've mentioned Tasker's. Really nice guy, Eddie. I used to get on really well with him. I'd forgotten about Reid Alan and Paterson. Was it them who then moved to a wee lane off Constitution St, opposite Leith Police (dismisseth us...) Station? I went into there to look at a Commando before I bought mine from Better Bikes in '77. LH King - that was the name of the place on Dundas St that did 3 wheelers and scooters, wasn't it? That just leaves the old place on Leith Walk that had a very rough looking sidecar outfit sitting outside or are there more....?

Edgar Brothers on Leith Walk?
Forget about them PP. Used to walk past very regularly going home too.
Were they not mentioned already?

Don’t think so, but we’re onto page 3 now!
Need someone to compile a spreadsheet with this historical information.

Unfortunately my LC250 ended up in Alvins after getting nicked from George st. Got £150 for the entire bike , 2 weeks later the engine alone was on the shelf for £200!
A 350 lc followed with allspeed spannies, harpowa reeds , and ported. The Edinburgh bypass was a great flat oot testing ground. A lot quieter in those days compared to the carpark it is now.
