Amazingly, there are blokes around who actually love the Velocette LE. Spider actually knows one - how about that!
These small, quiet, water-cooled, horizontal twins with everything enclosed in an aluminium casing like a scooter were once a common sight on England's roads. This was because police constables on the beat were issued with them so that they could whiz round their patch.
Why were they called Noddy Bikes? Well, the story goes that the police inspectors used to prowl around making sure their coppers were not nipping into the boozer instead of feeling the collar of the local villains and whenever a constable rode past an inspector he had to salute him. This required the constable to raise his right hand to his brow in smart military style with the result that the throttle shot back to zero, the bike rapidly decelerated and the copper frequently fell off. Thus a new rule was introduced requiring the rider to only nod when he passed an inspector - hence Noddy Bike!

Spider's cartoon highlights the fact that the Velocette LE is not renowned for its performance, being rather a gentle creature.
