    Actually saw one of these beasts on the road yesterday going through Hagley in Worcestershire UK. The first one I have seen in years. I remember when they were lauched (1981?) as the Brit bike to beat the world! Didn’t quite work out that way. I understand some bloke still knocks up new ones to order…anybody know if it is true?

    Not sure if that’s true but they certainly looked like someone had knocked them up in a shed. Huge, square monsters if memory serves me well. I’d almost forgotten about them.

    LOVE IS GIVING SOMEONE THE ABILITY TO DESTROY YOU, THEN TRUSTING THEM NOT TO.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, VODKA in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming…….WOO HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!
