Bike purists but I think it works very well.

Re: The new Buell - NWC
¿ªÔÆÌåÓý?
If anyone is wondering, the bike is a late '50's or
early '60's Panther 500cc or 600cc single known by many as 'Slopers'. They were
built in Cleckeaton in Yorkshire and basically stayed the same from about 1920
until the mid '60's. Not the fastest motorcycle ever made but?epitomised
the 'one beat per lamp-post' slow revving Brit single...

NWC: Brits in hacks
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýBack in the 50s, during summer vacation, us kids
were allowed to stay up till all hours watching TV.
Back then, for some reason, most of the late night
movies were British imports. At least that was true in the San Francisco
area.
?
One movie that I'll never forget was about a man,
driving a motorcycle with a sidecar, who kidnaps a young girl so he can get
money to help his wife who had some medical problem.
?
Anyone ever see this movie?
?

Re: The new Buell - NWC
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMy first motorcycling memory was being in one of
these sidecars...along with mum, Aunty Dorothy, her son Andy, her baby daughter
and my little sister Mary....So just the 6 of us in the chair./..Uncle Bob rode
the Triumph T110, and dad rode pillion.. I can remember looking out through the
rain streaked side window at the blurred figure of my dad with the?pre-unit
Triumph lump hammering away jusrt in front of his leg!
?
There's a faded photo of us kids and the mums all
sitting in front of the sidecar...The sidecar was so big it looks like there's a
block of flats behind us!?

Matty,
I'm smiling as I type this...I was going to warn you against opening up that Buell link <G> Here then, just as a special balm for your retro soul, is a link to some quality pics of old and classic wheels - two, four, and more - by a very good photographer/lister from RealClassic.com that he took at a rally this weekend. Credit to Kevin Dean for his most eclectic slide show.

Re: Retro bikes making there way back

The bikes that that the Brit & European press tend to refer to as retro bikes are such as my CB 1300 Kawasaki ZRX 1200 R Suzuki GS 1400 and the Yamaha XJR 1300

Subject: RE: [W650riders] Need Help w/ Petition ** I read an article in Motorcyclist Mag recently that said retro bikes in Japan and I think Europe are the latest and greatest things to ride.
