I do like the old 50's and 60's British bikes....
Look and sound lovely....
My late father had a BSA 650 super rocket and a teacher of mine at senior school had a 750 Bonny....

I`ve been sorting out a load of family stuff lately and have just found a whole bunch of photos from the forties and fifties of my dad and his mates.
I have seen them before, but that was years ago !!
The story goes, that he had to decide between my mum and a new bike....she wasn`t prepared to ride pillion so it was bigger bike or sidecar !! :shock:
He plumped for sidecar !! .. Now, ain`t that sweet !!
Anyway, to the point
I think that there was something romantic about a motorcycle back then ....a great throbbing machine that was tempremental and dripped oil all over the place.
I honestly think it`s missing from todays shiny plastic buzzy things !!
Anyway ... I could start rambling if I`m not careful so I`ll just leave this with you and see if there are any comments ..
OH yeah ....and this :lol:
That sounds like someone I know :lol:
I love old bikes so much character, much better than the plastic crotch rockets we have now

I call my mate a Plastic Power Ranger coz of the sports jobby he rides :giggle:

In the 70's I had a 650 Bonny. A dream to ride. You cant beat that throaty throb of a british bike. My ex wife and I went up to the Hebrides on it for a holiday . Would you believe it got us back in a single day! Isle of Skye to London. My balls and willy were numb as death! We rode for 2hrs then stopped for 10 mins all the way back down. That was the hardest riding I've ever done. She was a gorgeous machine. I often think of her even now and hope someone has still got her on the road.

A bit older than we were originally talking about but still beautiful...
We had a lovely Triumph 350- though I did nearly kill meself on the thing as it's knobs & levers were on the "wrong" side!
When Mr W gets back I'll post a looooong list of all the machines he's owned over the years- he's been riding since he was 16.
I did have a very soft spot for our 400/4.

So... do all you biker boys (and girls!) wear leathers then? :rascal:
Sorry... I know absolutely nothing about bikes but do have a penchant for a man in leather :twisted:

I dont ride (bikes) .............Not enough wheels :lol2:
As for leather well................
Ooooooooooooo, I loved riding pillion - had some great memories of riding through country lanes on my partners bikes - BSA, Norton, Triumph, CZ (can't remember the rest) those where the days!! My cat loved it - used to carry a basket over my arm with my cat snuggled up or head peeping out though the gap in it
I also remember the motorbike accidents I was in, the burns on my legs, getting wet and my hair always looking awful, getting a fly in my eye, bike parts all over the dining room, good friends that died etc :? :?

edited just to drag it on through the thread....cos its a work of ard.
Bikes are for riding.
Whether it be one of these beautiful feats of engineering that will potter around gently these days.....or a so-called plastic power ranger type bike.
At the end of the day, you ride what you do, based on your needs/wants as a rider.
I want to beat the arse off any bloke who thinks cos I'm on a jap 400 import that I'm beneath his top of the range 1000.
But at the same time, the old stuff has such style and class.
Harry would love an old Bonny, but heyho, I'd like a merc, a boob lift and a shopping spree in new york every weekend.
Join the queue, big boy!

400/4 !! sounds like a Honda !!
I have a photo of a mate of mine with a cigarette in his hand sitting in a petrol station on a 400/4 !!!
I`ll see if I can find it !!
Yup- Steve just posted one!
Ours was in BRG though- and looked the business. It's one of the few bikes we've had that I could touch the floor on!
Actually- I think it's that we have some amazing before & after pics of- I'll see if I can scan them tomorrow. :smile:

EEEEWWWWWW !! and after all you said !!!
OK !!! I`ll come clean to
It`s jap bikes that really don`t do it for me !!
It is definately the "power ranger" look that just kills it for me ...
They look like kids toys
Indeed...........Being an Italian bike it is associated with passion and flair and is not as common as the Jap bikes nowadays...
I appreciate the engineering as well as the asthetics..
