More lovelies I have done for others, well apart from one (guess).

Well spotted lol

I was 22 had hair down to my nips (Albeit with a large grey stripe) a big hoop earring in my left ear, had a BMW then a Laverda, drank Guinness and bourbon, was single, never lacking female company though. Jo knows all this. The rest is not fit for public consumption. No pictures as I dodged the camera then too.

Just to clarify, I've had a hair cut taken the earring out, got married and sold the motorcycles. Still dodging the camera though..

1980 Raleigh Record Ace. I have a real soft spot for Raleigh. Long gone.View attachment 827531

Interesting. I have a rather battered '81 Record Ace hanging in the rafters, and it is a totally different bike.

No eyelets, no room for mudguards.

I think you will find that is a Road Ace, not a Record Ace (Polar Blue).

I wondered if the wrong decals were on it.

You had me doubting my sanity for a while there. Thanks for that.

But no, it is a Record Ace. I did a quick online search and found others. They are in Germany, France and Holland, so it may have been a continent-only version.

This one was sold on Catawiki recently:
