    Compared to the Britt bikes of the same era, it was still horrible.

    Well, it would certainly satisfy his penchant for ugly, underpowered
    behemoths.

    I've got a bunch of bikes for sale...

    Mind you, Steve's got first dibs on the obvious choice (the VFR). Guess
    I could try to flog him the 400/4...

    Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the

  18. You really must learn to communicate with people in terms they would
    understand. To have passed his test in 1968 Jimbo must have been born
    before god took his place in the corner of every living room and gave up
    being omnipresent like he used to be in the Good Old Days.

    Jimbo, he means somewhere around I pes over I passus long and as near a
    dammit I pes under I passus high.

    Anything really but check insurance and take a refresher course before you
    decide what to buy. Even the little 500cc training school bikes have more
    power than the fastest bike around in 68. Book an assessment ride on a 500cc
    bike.
