Today's London Evening Standard features a picture of Prince William trailed by a Protection Officer on a...

The Prince is riding a Triumph in said photo, but has apparently upgraded to a Blackbird (Why???).

Was the 11S chosen for reliability, braking, general handling, sheer weight, or ?

Do we have a (very) secret Member?

I think that "Ride" will be conducting a test on protection officers. Which is the best type, what sort of protection they offer etc etc. ONly the best will get the coverted green triangle.

Coming to a store near you soon.

PS they might not help prevent an accident but they will shoot the van driver afterwards. So not all bad then.

nobby the bouncer gets recommended for being excellent value for money and scoring well in comfort and abrasion resistance..
