Have not been to NC for a few years now. I`ve named the bike the Tardis as it`s British, blue and allows me to travel through space and time.

Yeah, that's pretty twisted logic that they use.

Not a Trent Tourist, by any chance? They were named for the river flowing through Nottingham, where the Raleigh factory used to be - not sure if it still is. I had the Triumph equivalent, the Palm Beach, which was candy apple red and white. Had it 53 years from new and gave it away when we moved down here. Still in daily use around Leicester, I'm told! They don't build them like they used to!

I still have my Raleigh Blue Streak, now 54 years old, but in bad need of some tlc. Problem is that it is really hard work these days on the hills around here so I find my Kona but more user friendly.
If you are going to do it, do it in a kilt!

I road mine around for years then brought it to Canada and was quite confused that the headlight was on the wrong side. Someone recognized a good thing and it was stolen soon after. I hope whoever is riding it now does not ride it at night.

Dumb question - but does anyone think the picture was reversed? Wouldn't the fly plaid or "sash" be worn over the opposite shoulder as what's pictured?

Hmm, that's a thought. I tried a horizontal flip bit the logo on the chain guard looks right the way it is and wrong flipped. That said, it isn't very clear.
