In the new Dr who series, the good doctor goes into the back hall of the TARDIS, then rides out on a Triumph Scrambler. It has an accessory I'd like on my America, push a big button on top of the tank and it switches on the anti-grav system so you can ride up walls without rejetting the carbs.

We have too many emission control rules on this side of the pond.

True, but the Tardis is so much cooler now that I know it has a scrambler in the back somewhere.

They replaced it with a rev counter on Speedmasters, left it as an optional extra on Americas

LOVE Doctor Who! My daughters keep begging me to order more episodes. They are hooked!!
Also, I am trying to get a personalized license plate for my BA. The state wouldn't let me have DR WHO on my SM. We'll see if they let me have TARDIS on this bike. Since my BA is blue and white, I thought it would be well fitting!

Okay, I admit I never got into the whole "Dr. Who" thing, so tell me here: After lookin' at these stamps, and particularly the guy on the second row all the way to the right, AND the guy on the bottom row all the way to the right...  ...when did Tom Jones and Danny Kaye play this doctor dude???  (...'cause I had NO idea they ever did!!!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

It is Tom. Baker not Jones.
Best Dr Who IMO
He's still on TV from time to time. He's as mad as a box of frogs

So tell me Ade, is it..ahem.."not unusual" for people to think that Mr. Tom Baker resembles Mr. Tom Jones???

I've been listening to some Dr Who radio plays. All I can say is that I'm not surprised they stopped making the TV series during Silvester Mcoys stint, he's crap. Which is a pity as Paul Mcgann was good, but could only do the radio, apart from a film

Dwight,I think your "Danny Kaye" is actually John Pertwee if we're looking at the same Doctor[bottom left].It was about Tom Bakers time that I lost contact with Doctor Who.
The fellow on the bottom right is William Hartnell the original Doctor.

I never sat through 5 minutes of either the old or new Dr. Who, but do think that will keep me from offering an opinion? I think.........................

On North American versions, you have to rejet and change to a blended oil before you can ride up the side of buildings.
