I remember you mentioning that a while back & talking about the one ChCh Motorcycles back in the day.
Thought the articles would be an interesting read

Exclusive limited order I'd suspect bit like those new Vincents

Yeah it was like 10 a year then to special order with the "lords" blessing.
i tried googling them but can't find them.

nah broom retired a couple of years ago, the new ones are using another motor and the hesketh badge, very little like the original

they were way to tall and would've only suited a few riders in the end

yeah i seen the S&S hardley tie in. thought he was still doing them but it appears as you said, hes not.

I can't say I was ever impressed. They were so expensive for something that did not offer anything better than a top end bike of the day and IMO looked dated from day dot.

All very ra-ra-I inherited too much money and I am British really.

No doubt becoming collectible now.

The Valiant looks like a total departure from the original for sure, 2.1lt supercharged though. Frame looks like a step backwards
