No, always wore a helmet from outset, possibly because I was given one for my 16th birthday! It would now be called "open face" but then it was "spaceman style", with "Tweety Pie" motif painted on the back!!
Worn with ice blue jeans, and ex MoD leather flying boots (with the obligatory white socks folded over the top). Couldn't afford a leather jacket at first, so it was what was known as a "combat" jacket to complete the ensemble....
Trouble was the Norton was so underpowered, it was a 1958 Model 50, a 350cc single in the 500 ES2 frame.
Those were the days
