In an episode of the legendary British cop show The Sweeney, indeed in "The Taste of Fear" one of the most legendary episodes, the bad geezers make their getaway on a bright vermillion Triumph Bonneville 750, taking potshots at Regan and Carter wiv' a shootah.
Back in 2018 I was lucky enough to purchase said Triumph Bonneville at auction, not knowing its history.
Ever since then we have become firm friends, though it is by now a rather drab shade of brown...
Here it is in action. The bike appears about halfway through, and you do have to endure some very curious background music in the lead-up.
I do think the director should have been encouraged to "leave it aht!"
