Maybe it didn't follow him home after all.
Always enjoy seeing those vintage touring bikes in use.

That is very nice. I adore these old touring bikes. I'm probably lucky I have no more room for bikes. What did you pay for it?

Kurt's headbadge page has some info on Raleigh serial numbers. You can also find catalog pictures and try to match it up. I'd guess '81 or '82.
