Motorcycles today. I am cosidering changing my lovely Honda CBF1000 for something a little less demanding....something more befitting my age and ambitions! A bike that will swing bends happily and safely, burble pleasantly along sun dappled country lanes, be fast enough to get safely past and away from 
badly driven cars - and yet won't keep tempting me to emulate my idol Rossi and push my limits beyond where they can reasonably expect to be!
badly driven cars - and yet won't keep tempting me to emulate my idol Rossi and push my limits beyond where they can reasonably expect to be!I've looked at Harley Davidsons. The Sportster 1200 is nice...but..........well, I haven't any tattoos and my hair isn't long enough for a ponytail!
No. I like the new 'Classic' Triumphs - and particularly the Bonneville T100. Maybe that is what I shall end up with?
Whilst we are on the subject of bikes, here's a picture of my ES2 Norton. 1953 and still beautiful! It has to go, however. I am running out of space and ability to look after them all. She needs more love and attention than I am able to give her. Anyone want her? I am open to negotiation! Have a look at the engine too!

A few days ago , Kathy and I were in Brecon and there were two of those Triumphs parked on a street. Three cylinders! Lovely. What a good riding position. Later, I saw two "older" men in leathers and asked them if the bikes were theirs. They were. They'd come up from Cornwall. I always remember the wonderful riding position on my BMW R 80 RT. That bike simply fitted me. Those Triumphs look the same. Apparently
they are really good bikes.
God, I'd like your Norton!!
