That's bad. Having owned a couple of BSAs I'm not labouring under any misapprehensions as to their quality, but that is just cruel.

This looks like a good usable effort.

Also the owner has completed at least 5000km, not trying to sell after first test ride.

Yup. First European are trying to slot me into their ex-demo Street Twin also. Same money. I had the cash too though I've now spent (sorry "invested") some of it in Jack Daniels, blow, and hookers.

I'd heard the Law Society Xmas do was a good one....

Xmas lasts 12 months of the year for lawyers.

Mine was based on a ratty old commuter that would probably have ended up broken for parts, not a desirable or rare model. I want to do a Harley version next, but properly this time no fibreglass.

Ha- I'm getting old - I really don't care about going fast on a bike anymore and I do like the sound and character of the Harley Motors as long as it's not totally obnoxious - just not a big fan of the styling.
