  7. Here’s his arch-enemy, Buckfast Man

  8. Does he ride a Scrambler :thinkingface:
     
  9. The cylinders on an MG are angled though, aren’t they? Having looked again, I think what I assumed was a support bike might be another prop bike with a female stunt rider.
     
  10. Hipster Man? Can’t be him though as he’s clean shaven, you can’t see the outline of his top knot under the head gear and the Buckfast would be replaced with a cup of ethically sourced artisan coffee.

    Based in his underground HQ beneath a railway arch in Shoreditch*, he doesn’t so much fight crime as discusses it with stakeholders in a safe and collaborative environment where all voices, including those of sociopathic uber-villains, can be heard.

    * Only joshing - I love the Bikeshed and its crowd

  14. Look like it was filmed at the "Bridge of Sighs" as it's called locally, obviously not the real "Bridge of Sighs"

    It's a bridge that runs from the Necropilis to the main square where the cathedral is. The cottage is the keeper's house for the cemetry.

    Its bloody sliippery there and God help him if that had happened on the bridge and ejected him over, it's a pretty big drop onto Wishart St

    From the Wishart St side

    As far as the bike could be almost anything that's got jugs I guess. I was looking for a shaft (Moto Guzzler) but the swiging arm looks like its got wood or alloy covers so you can't see it. I was thinking something like the newer tourers MGX 21 for instance

    Listened to the sound but I think it's dubbed, judging by the revs you here and what the bike is actually doing

    Possibly a Motus block? Hard to say, it looks pretty bloody big and heavy and riding over sets takes mare baws than I've got

    Just a thought

  15. Good spot. I had noticed that the bike ridden by Batman has two headers per cylinder but just assumed the lower one was was a dummy.
     
  16. is that near Kelvin Grove area? thats what it looks like to me
     
  17. Nahh @finm, Kelvingrove is near where I live in the West end near the current Weegie Uni site (it moved from the East end when the train companies wanted the land) far later development in the city's history.

    That location is at the Cathedral in the East End, near the Glasgow Royal infirmary in Errrrrr......................Cathedral St.

    Really big cemetry on the North East side, you only got buried there generally if you were one of the establishment, mainly Victorian. Used to go wandering in there with mates after dark when I was a daft loon, scared ourselves shitless and got chased around by Groundsman's dug
