Keep going Jelster. I think you've hooked the fishy! Just need to reel him in a bit more.

Scoobs.....Far from it mate. I always find it particularly interesting when people have to cast doubt on other makes of bike. Jelster has adopted an approach that I would never use, but if it suits him then that is fine by me.
I own a particular make of motorcycle that I am actually very pleased with,what others think of me or my bike, in reality matters so little not to register.

OK, here's one everyone will know



But stuff you may not?

A sign of performance in it's day (100 mph lap).

Originally won by Wal Handley, by doing a lap (within a race) of over 107mph at Brooklands in 1937 on a tuned Empire Star, not until 1949 did BSA produce a road 500cc "Gold Star" the B32GS, and that could only do 96mph

Still, one of the icons of logos.

Cheers Mark.
