    Don't forget the Dominator. Norton made one in the late 40's and honda many decades later, does that count?

    Ohh. Collectable now? Bit like when a artist dies. Must be worth more.

    See you in the 'other' thread soon
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    That's a better looking bike than those "cafe racers" we see on TradeMe. Trouble is, it's using up all its power just looking racy.

    They would have enough power to be fun on a flat track especially if all them were the same.

    Indoor speedway, on polished concrete, could be real fun
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    And 63 years later I still ride one for work. Looking forward to the new model with ABS and disc brakes.

    Well my 100 did a couple of times until I did the Crankpin properly.
    And I stopped for a rest once or twice
