Rollers aren't cool. They are Rollers. They are what they are.

A 60's muscle car is cool.

Mr Bloor is making some bloody fine motorcycles, I know that much.

Had a burn on a new standard Bonneville last week while the Rocket had a service, Bonne with the 17" wheels - white one, fitted with the Arrow exhausts. It's one of the best 'step-up from a 250' bikes on the market I reckon. Up with a SV650. A really sweet - middleweight unit. They have proved pretty bullet proof and it's just a joy to ride.

Before that I had a New Tigger and that is a gem of a bike now too. The gripes I had about the suspension have been addressed with the inclusion of Showas all round and it's got what may be the best road bike engine ever.

And this Rocket is a blast (guffaw) - for a big bloke like me, it's just a delight. A large motorcycle with a 'normal' riding position - there isn't many of them - and the way it goes when you roll it on is stiffy material.
