    Somehow I managed to miss the existance of the Danish "Nimbus" bike,
    built from 1934 to 1959. Low-power four-cylinder 750cc, used mainly
    by military and post office. I stumbled on a website (not easy to
    navigate, the links are faint at the bottom):

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique,
    There's one with a chair gets down to the town where my in-laws have an
    apartment near Malaga every year.

    The owner rides it down from Denmark.

    Lovely looking thing. Watching the valvegear is mesmerising.

    Bike magazine did a nice feature on them, back in the 1970s.

    I saw one at Membury services a couple of years ago. Admittedly, it was on
    a trailer.
