    Default Me old man's bike.



    He's been working on this for quite some time but he actually had it out for it's first run today. Not far just a tester. He says it needs some more fiddling.
    It's the same kind of bike that he had as a lad.

    I have to admit. In this case vintage does sound better than modern.

    Corr that's lovely. I had a Venom in the early 70's, beautiful thing. The Thruxton was the one everyone wanted though.

    I had a nasty smash on mine (not my fault: an old dear in a Moggy Minor pulled straight out in front of me. Thank God I was wearing a helmet... they weren't compulsory back then.) I never felt the same way about it after that. I sold it for £135...a fair bit of money back then, but I wonder what they fetch these days?
    I'm fed up with people joking about dyslexia. It's not big and it's not furry.

    Lovely bike. I've always wanted a Velocette, I love the noise of a large single through a fishtail exhaust.
    Don't ask me when I began to hate
    Coz I don't recall a time I didn't
