Reply With QuoteThe helmet is probably a very good idea. It does feel weird not putting on a seatbelt. I do wear a Pith helmet - but more to be an idiot that for protection.
We also wear custom made earplugs!

driving in traffic
When I had finished restoring my series one , I put it on club plates and on my first outing wore my bike helmet.Originally Posted by Pedro_The_Swift
did it go fast enough to require all those brakes??
wheres the helmet?!?
With no seat belts I didn't fancy going through the windscreen at 30 mph, if hit up the rear.
The whole machine was so noisy that I did a quick stop on the main entrance road opposite BBC hardware (now gone) and bought a set of earmuffs.
I did get a few strange looks when pulling up at the traffic lights and even had my picture published in the club magazine.
Such is the price of Fame.....

a drive...

These were the only earmuffs I saw Mildred wearing.
I hope this all helps

build a bridge and get over it
Why waste your time restoring a noisy, slow, unreliable, 50 odd year old, piece of English history, then buy ear muffs to block out all that wonderful noise that the for sighted designers built in for us to enjoy

p.s. this site has fallen by the way side
it is not what I and others thought it could become
it is becoming a chat show for stupidity
the clownish one line comments as a reply do nothing but lower what this
site stood for some time ago
it is time to grow up

A truly magnificent restoration, I to still have the bar treads on mine, but when I had it on club plates and used on the roads every month, I fitted standard cross plys to the front.Hey Folks,
Took Matilda out for her first club trip today. Vehicle ran perfectly. It was just great fun....
Here she is at Colleges Crossing.
Just wanted to share!
It helped with the steering and gave a more positive feel to the vehicle. With bar treads it tended to wander.
When I took it off club plates and only used it on the property, I refitted the bar treads for authenticity and grip.
Again a restoration to be proud of for many years to come.........
