Two firsts for me today, I found out what it meant to be tagged on Facetwit and I appear to have been photographed by someone other than the Fraud Squad.

Yes, well descendant. Rotax engine, so most reliable harley probably. Apparently quite rare.
I only guessed it as one of the few bikes with chain on wrong side

I had a ride on one of those when I was serving HRH's. It was a pleasure. Anything for queen (now King) and country. I sprayed the mud on from the ground up.

Well spotted Dark-Strom
Sorry to Hijack your thread Fat Rat.
But back in the day I used to buy and sell a few bikes and I was offered a Harley Davidson for sale a 250 so I went to view it and it was one of these basically it was a Yamaha engined Harley Davidson.
I never took a picture of it but found a picture on the internet.
As I said sorry to hijack the thread.

That's an MT350.
The diagonal brace from the rack down to the frame is the most obvious tell tale.
Also the hydraulic rear brake.
