Geoff Duke
WHILE reading about memories about Geoff Duke I am left wondering how many ex and present bikers know about his one piece leather riding suit.
This was made for him by a local master tailor Mr Barker who owned a small shop in Liverpool Road. As was traditional in those days his display was a couple of rolls of cloth. His one piece was the first of its kind.
