Hello there,

Can sometime come back to me and let me know what you see.

This attempt at using photobucket seems to give me some strange results;

1) My normal laptop sees THREE pages of the road test.

2)My old laptop which is a bit slow sees TWO pages and a picture of a cat.

3)My even older PC sees the same as no2.

Other than that it seems to work.

Cat plus 2 pages, fairly new PC running Win10 Anniversary on Chrome. Photobucket has been playing up for sometime in various ways.

Thanks John. My laptop running Windows 10 now sees a cat in place of page one as well - so at least we're all in agreement.

iPad and I can see all three, so Steve Jobs doesn't have the phobia either!

I'm not sure but, Tim Cook seems to have one. iMac with OSX 10.11.6 shows only two pages.

Photobucket seems to take Sunday evenings off work ! All three pages are back this Monday morning. But it does make you wonder!.

Thanks everyone for the reports.

Fancy thinking that an esteemed magazine such as Motor Cycling might tell some porkies.

Here's another road test of the Standard Jubilee on 4th 1963 in Motor Cycle magazine this time. It gets top billing on the front cover. It looks like he may have come off this rocketship - see the scraped silencer on the right hand side. He quotes 70 miles per hour in third gear/55miles per hour in second so he definitely made it rev.
