| I would rather have my knob cut off without anesthetic!
Having owned various "classic" British bikes in my dark and distant yoof, no ******* way! They were without exception, ugly, unreliable, ****ed oil from every oriface and some that weren't, didn't handle, didn't go and most definately didn't stop.
With regard to my qualifications for this rant, here is a small selection of the bikes I once was unfortunate enough to own.....
Ariel leader - would sieze at the drop of a hat
BSA Bantam - nuff said
Triumph T100SS - sprung a leak in the fuel tank and met a firey end in Uppingham
Triumph Bonneville - awful oil in frame model, regularly broke spokes in wheel giving a most "interesting " handling experience
Norton Commando 750 - Almost handled, but then bit you just when you thought it was doing ok
Norton 850 Interstate - with the infamous low vibration frame - my arse!
Stuff it, I'm fed up already. Just in case you missed the message - NO!!!!!
