And this is news because?
I'm a fan of the Royal Family, but I think this must've been a slow news day.

He may have inherited odd colour hair but the guy got style, ( not that difficult on his budget)
Doesnt his big bro ride a Triumph ?

However, officers apologised when his police minders revealed his identity.
Sidecar?

I've always wondered how "the minders" keep up and what were they going to do during the "picnic"? Look the other way hopefully.
I believe his big brother has a Ducati 1098. I'm no ardent Royalist (especially since these Hanoverians ousted the rightful Jacobite dynasty

) but I do think this generation are as normal as their circumstances permit and it can only be good for us if they're bikers/motorcyclists.

Random check my arse!
Putney Bridge is a known lets target bikes police hangout. If i travel over it 20 times a month i'll be stopped at least 8 or 9 times. The last time was last week and I got the same copper from 2 days previous.

It sed to be something like if. The same copper stopped you 3 times in a week it was harassment or something like that ... Of course I prolly remembered that wrong. It's that long since I met a real plod and not some glorified mobile traffic warden. In fact I actually can't recall the last time I met a real plod

I've searched with interest for the official Ducati Picnic Hamper Attachment but I can't find it listed.
How do you transport your Doris along with your best china, champers, quails eggs, caviare, cucumber-sandwiches-with-the-crusts-cut-off-cut-into-triangles etc etc without a special wicker container modified to clip to your Ducati?

That's simple it goes in the luggage of the plod BMW tourer just behind you.
They keep their eyes open until they've got it out!
Then it is eyes discreetly shut until the "picnic is over!
