Protection

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

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.
