I was In the Royal Air Force at RAF Turnhouse at the time,and my parents lent me the cash to buy the Dragonfly. It was sent up to my home town of Kirkcaldy by train, and as I was working the weekend on Duty Crew, my friend Ed Bowie collected it for me. I had many happy hours in the saddle. She would cruise two up all day at 80mph, and with the low centre of gravity, was absolutely delightful on corners.
I missed her when I sold her to a friend called Bob Bease from Kirkcaldy.
