In my youth, as a kidlet living in Westbury :we were often visited by Malcolm on "tea-trips" roadtesting the latest incarnation of his feet-forward motorcycles...
Full roof with rollcage, windscreen wiper, a heater, leading link forks, full luggage in the back, sitting on the fuel tank with the engine in front of you!

Production was from 1975 - 1982 with many outwardly strange & wacky variants! Sadly Malcolm passed away many years back, but you have to admire his vision & drive to see the motorcycle as a different form & get it in production!
Pillion on the bike was cosy as you can imagine - it turned heads like no other & undoubtedly still does today...
Can anybody remember these? Difazio had dealings in Frome from what I can remember??
