Images of the recent Distinguished Gentleman's Ride reminded me of a picture I saw long time ago, in the early eighties.
It was in a bookshop in Auckland, NZ, in a travel book about Australia.
One of the pictures in it about Sydney was a full size picture of a guy on a 750 Commando, I think it was a Fastback, dressed in suit and tie, shiny shoes as well, waiting at the traffic lights.
Curious sight for me at the time.
At the time, I knew no better that riding (british) bikes was done in leathers, belstaff like stuff or jeans.
Would love to trace that picture down again.
