There was a BFI documentary film made in the 1960s about the Chelsea Bridge Boys who were bikers.  Uncle Reg (Reginald Mein Carnegie, Margaret Mein Moffat's son) was one of them and he was interviewed for it.  It's available to view on YouTube.  Here's a still of Reg from the BFI film.

A family named Mein ran the post office in Edinburgh for many years in the early 19th cent?
