In the 70s a pal I shared a house with had a big Ducati which was his only form of transport. He came off shift at 11pm every night and we had a rota of standby drivers for foggy and/or rainy nights when the electrics were guaranteed to pack up. The call would come at any point up to midnight depending on how close he was to a working phone box when the inevitable happened
