My old Norton Hill Climber.
I have a few pics of an old ('67 I think) Harley I was putting together. Not sure where to post 'em.. Ive sorta pulled this thread off track enough.
Anyhow... Britain... Woo! Yeah!

Re: What makes Britain Great?
Great photos. Thank you. I had a Tiger 90 myself in 1969, but being only a teenager, wrote it off pretty quickly.
When I lived in a village in Kent some twenty years ago, there used to be a very large group of English bikes come through. Every Spring Bank Holiday I think.
A deep slow rumble you could hear for miles, but somehow not as intrusive as the higher pitched noise of modern bikes.

Re: What makes Britain Great?
Eep! linked wrong pic.
[Edit] And It looks like I FUBARed the upload of the scan... Here.. have a pic of my old Triumph 5TA to make up for it. A work in progress.
Dunno the bike age... Pic was taken around 1980 I think.
I remember lacing up that rear wheel was a bitch.

Re: What makes Britain Great?
heartbreakingly lovely, accessible countryside
genuine, self-effacing people (not excluding Facetious Pedants) who are kind to animals
stunning architecture – cathedrals to cottages
British TV
British food
short distances, easy transportation
mild climate
complete absence of deadly marsupials
contempt for Americans (oops, did I say that?)
above all, it is home.
With your permission, I shall now cry.
