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 lol lol

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.  :auto-dirtbike:

Well spotted Dark-Strom :thumb:

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.
The older I get, the better I was.
