Age comes with more 
than increasing physical limitations...
I am blessed with an reasonably ok memory but as time progresses the past gets increasingly further back.
Looking at solo saddles, thought about the single cilinder I briefly owned way back. I cannot even remember which type it was
It was anything from R25/2 and onwards. I remember it had a neutral indicator light on the head lamp unit. Furthermore a bench seat and plunger suspension. That is all.
Ah and it was 1979/-´80.
Looking back at it, I should have kept it and unloaded the Norton instead. But being young, the racing rugged racing image faster 500 pushed more buttons than the older folk / police bike. Totally missed the refined reliability and quality. I should have caught on as it was better than my gf´s NSU Max and that was way better than the Norton. Ah well...
Bugs me a bit that I have nóthing more stored in the grey cells. I don´t even remember how/why I got it
Looks like it that I will try fitting both the rider´s saddle and passenger one to my R18....
