...It seems to me that I recall seeing a poster of a fellow named John Robinson (I think) who wrote/rode for Performance Bikes magazine. The poster showed him hiked off the left side of the bike in a kilt, knee down and the bike itself was covered in tartan. I've been searching the web the last day or so looking for a copy of it but with no luck. Any of our brothers across the pond remember this? Was that his name? I think he recently passed. By the way, don't be afraid to point out if I'm totally wrong in my recollection: I've been told the '70's were hard on me. Bryan...thought that would be a cool poster to frame and put in the garage by the bikes and the mini-fridge...
Oh yeah, if you can remember the '70s, you're still there.
Could you be thinking of the mid '80s. They featured a BMW K1000LT on the cover (KILT,get it?). I found a site with descriptions but no pics.
Actually, if you can remember the 70's you WEREN'T there David

No, it definitely wasn't the Blue Rondel crowd (not with the headlight and lean angle I remember). IIRC, the rider was a pretty good-sized fellow, had on a tam and goggles, too.
I think this photo by Peter Dove is pretty cool. You could contact Peter by email and maybe get to buy yourself a copy of it... But if you got the bike you can ask somebody to photograph yourself riding in a kilt. Peter's biker pic
Very cool photo, but that's not the one I remember. Bryan...I'm not flexible enough to wear out knee pucks anymore...
