| I've actually got a british bike - 1959 Norton Dominator 99. It doesn't leak oil and handles fantasticaly. If you've not actually ridden an old bike, some people can't anyway because everything is the other way round, don't knock them, some of them might surprise you. Not from a stopping point of view because that's absolute shite, more from a handling perspective - the wideline featherbed frame is excellent, even compared to a lot of so called superior new bikes. Like dukes, british bikes have soul, they are not some faceless, heartless, lifeless rice burner. Also it helps keep the insurance costs down on the duke!!!! |
