Nice bike, but pleezzzz dump the shorts and white socks....

[PonytailRuth]

@sitarnut We only went to view the 'for sale' bike on this boiling hot day, but ended up buying it. He would certainly not ride out on the road dressed like this, but it was on the previous owners private land.

[totusdispute]

strange choice for a farm bike :?

[PonytailRuth]

@totusdispute Yes...ha ha....perhaps the previous owners got their farm work done a lot faster with this land speed record breaking bike!

[princealbertenigma]

please come and ride up stevenage high street

[PonytailRuth]

@princealbertenigma We will never say never, but it's a pain needing a rolling road to start the bike every time.

If you were to ride up Cambridgeshire, I know that the VOC up there will be happy to accommodate you.

Beautiful bike sir,back pot is a bit lean,we always went 10 bigger on the rear Amal because of the angle and the heat...I raced a red shadow at Duxford in the sixties,Ian Ashwell and George brown were good friends...

[MrStubat]

With the Manx Norton as well I can only guess what they grow on the farm to pay for the bikes

[PonytailRuth]

@MrBlackEp3 I think so, but don't have any accurate details as they end up all around the world. I do hope that they are all well looked after for obvious reasons.

[MrBlackEp3]

are all 32 accounted for?
