Just noticed a couple of photos in the liner notes of the Young Persons Guide to King Crimson album (vinyl of course). Robert Fripp and the guys are hanging out around an S model. The kids aren’t here to help with pictures, so you’ll have to sort through your own record collections to see it.
 
Correction - Roy Obison was not "legally blind", he just needed prescription glass and that included sun glasses

The book includes an account of how the Big O accidentally developed his sunglasses image while on a U.K. tour with the Beatles in 1963. “He had left his regular glasses on a plane, right before the tour," Roy Jr. told Rolling Stone. "He had the dark glasses with him and decided to keep wearing them. Dad wasn't able to see without glasses. When he got off the plane in England, people were taking pictures and that's what they saw, Dad with the dark glasses."

I hung out with Hobot under a huge tree for shade at a NY. rally . He said my mufflers are rattlin' baffles bad , what do I do ? I said let's remove them right now , junk them , and you can drive home with a better soundin' bike. So we did. Those are the mufflers he shot up in a video. First he chastized me for drinkin' so much. The rally campground bar was selling 99 cent steins of beer.
 
I still own and Ride my Commando and am well known in my small town .....almost famous,eh

Yes, Keanu has a lot of other things going on to be one us crazy Norton “experts”. At least he has good taste in ride choice.

speaking of RO -- don't know about owning a commando, but in his earlier days, he was an avid motorcycle enthusiast. supposedly something he picked up from elvis.

He sang about it too..

"Two wheels a-turnin', one heart a-yearnin' ". Had that record on a 45 when I was a kid.
 
Although he was a Triumph man Steve McQueen owned an "S" model that he used for transportation while filming LeMans.

Of all the names in the universe, Dumpy and his Rusty Nuts often use a bike where he sticks a microphone up the exhaust/ silencer on a bike on stage for noise effect!
