    A Noddy Bike - quite a few of them still around in the classic clubs. I haven't seen one kept like that before ...

    I remember them, didn't know why they were called 'noddy bikes' though. That's another bit of trivia to file away, thanks.

    IIRC it was because riders couldn't salute senior officers they were permitted to nod instead.

    They were known as "The silent grey fellow' or 'the grey ghost' or something similar due to their silence.

    At what point did you know?

    Was it the smell of burning or was your bum getting warm or was it parked and then caught alight?
    Always an issue with the electrics hidden, pays to look and inspect frequently for chafing, rubbing etc.
    My Motobatt posts can come loose with vibration, nice batteries but you got to be aware!
    Good luck on the new ride
