No Ian, it was on page 11 of Saturdays (yesterday) Daily Mail. A whole full page with two colour pictures, one of the Prince riding his Yamaha DT 125 and another of a Triumph Daytona 600, apparently the bike he would like next.

It also states he had a private dinner with T.T. riders talking bikes. It suggests Triumph might offer him one as a gift for his 21st birthday.

The big No, No apparently is the cost of the insurance because of who he is. It has been estimated at ten times the cost of the Triumph.

Plus, quote, "it has left his father Prince Charles 'worried sick' about William's persistent interest in two wheels".

The article casts doubts about the safety of the future King riding a quick bike, and because the Police say it would be virtually impossible to protect the young Prince properly.

But, the good thing about the article for motor cycling is that it states. "But tens of thousands of bikers spend a lifetime enjoying the thrill and freedom of two wheels without accident".
