Did you never see the long overcoat - bit like an Aussie Dryazacobberscrutch - that they did in extensive the range of accessories to go with the cruiser? They were superb . . . in a horrible way

The there was the fleece headband for C1 owners, so they didn't get cold . . .

What about the Italians?

Gauchos and muffs are essential for really cold weather riding.
When folded down the gaucho ensures your seat is dry when you start off

Raised into the sitting position

Your view of the cockpit.
You can ride all winter wearing summer gloves

Handy storage in the front

Sexy huh?

No. Nor was there any inference of that.

Warm AND sexy would be preferable.

Form, AND function in equal (good) quantities.
