The AA Motorbike ?

Is it me or have the Automobile Association recently brought back their yellow motorbikes ? Have seen a few over the last few days. Maybe they never went away ?

Remember when the AA motorbike patrolmen wore khaki uniforms and saluted you if you had a badge on your car? That was in the days when you got a key to AA phone boxes when you joined. I've still got 2 of those.

Perhaps its a fuel saving thing?
Many repairs can be done at roadside that do not require a van load but a small kit of tools instead.
