WORDS: BERTIE SIMMONDS PHOTOS: GARY D CHAPMAN, MORTONS ARCHIVE
What a thing of great beauty this machine is, the R nineT Racer S. We’ve paddled the boxer twin into a ford to help Gary our renowned lensman get some form of fancy shot. You know the type, all reflections and arty stuff. Sadly, the weather hasn’t been playing the game recently and the normally higher levels of water are sadly somewhat reduced.
So, what normally would be more like a ford with swift-moving water offering a full-length reflection of the Racer’s beautiful lines is actually more of a puddle. Being the hackneyed old scribe I am, this location (five minutes from my place) has been used by me countless times over the last 23 or so years to make lovely motorcycles look jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but I can’t remember paddling in a better-looking bike to this location.
