    It’s ancient. But…??? I don’t need a crisis at the moment. Auction tomorrow.

    Even got a side-car to put the bikes in 🙂 Wouldn’t fancy leaving it in CwnCarn carpark 😉

    Have a look at the Urals at F2 Motorbikes.

    They really are lovely things.

    My mum loves hers and its not half as lovely as that one! I can remember being photographed on it 30 years ago and its still going strong

    That is a thing of beauty.

    Always fancied a motorbike, but the idea of wearing a helmet puts me off. I know they’re a lifesaver but doesn’t it kill the buzz a bit?

    Ooshh! that is nice! I remember when my Mum & Dad had a petrol station back in the early 70’s & a woman dressed in black leather used to call in on a Vincent Black Shadow. 2 things of beauty all in one.

    if you have 12k+ to spare it is effectively a Brough without the price tag or chrome tanks – look up Sid Leitch on youtube for much AJS and Matchless V twin loveliness

    noisy POS.
    there’s a guy on something similar lives round here – does my head in. sounds like an ultra-obnoxious fart and looks slow as hell.
    he thinks he’s cool, but he’s not, he just sits on an agricultural sewing machine travelling along at 15 noisy mph.

    So it’s similar (to what?) but different?

    Is he on a Matchless or a Vincent? Or don’t you know?

    I don’t know, sorry.
    I’m blinded by my rage.
    Looks more like the Singer Vincent.

    I wish I’d kept my old motorbikes. It would have been better than a pension fund 🙂

    When I used to ride from Stoneleigh to Leatherhead everyday as my commute, there was an old guy on an English classic bike who, every day of summer, used to blat over the downs wearing a matt black piss-pot, aviators, a string vest and an open white shirt (jeans and black boots obviously)

    Over a decade later, I still want to be him.
