Traffic
Framed Edition
Polished boots. Perfect creases. Engines ticking as they cool.
And somewhere in the background… a Garage Sergeant watching everything.
Traffic is a playful tribute to the golden age of Met motor culture. The scooters. The capes. The roar of blue lights reflected in shop windows. And the endless, legendary tales whispered about certain Garage Sergeants who ruled their workshops like benevolent monarchs.
Front and centre sits the unmistakable machine. Chrome. Lamps. Character. A proper bit of kit. The sort of vehicle that did not just attend incidents but arrived.
Perched confidently at the controls is the rider, high visibility jacket glowing, helmet down, poised and ready. The attitude says it all. Professional. Capable. Fully aware that every manoeuvre will be judged by someone back at the yard.
Standing nearby is that unmistakable figure. The Garage Sergeant. Keeper of keys. Guardian of fuel cards. Final authority on whether that “slight knocking noise” is urgent or can wait until next week.
Every Met garage had one. The man who could diagnose a fault by ear. Who knew exactly which officer had ridden the clutch. Who had stories about everyone and everything. And who, somehow, always knew before you did when something had gone wrong.
Look closely and you will spot the nods to that world. The subtle humour in posture. The quiet confidence. The unspoken understanding between rider and workshop.
Traffic was never just about speed. It was precision. Pride. Presentation. Machines cared for like members of the team.
This framed edition captures the shine of chrome and the shine of reputation. It celebrates the culture, the banter and the mechanical legends who kept the wheels turning.
Perfect for former Traffic officers, garage veterans, scooter enthusiasts and anyone who knows that the real power in the building sometimes wore overalls.
Engines warm. Tea strong. Stories endless.
