British Iron

For those of you partial to a bit of British Iron here's some photos from my recent trip to the Black Shadow meeting in Switzerland:-

There are some beautiful bikes there Skoti, thanks for sharing.

There are some really attractive bikes there, I've got a real soft spot for old British bikes, especially BSA's.

Great photos, thanks for posting - I've always liked the Brit triples and always hankered after a T160 which I nearly bought new in 1976 but NVT's troubles meant I bought a 71 CB750 K1 instead.....still, maybe one day?

I wanted to buy a CB750 in the early seventies, but couldn't afford it so ended up with a new red Commando instead (see photos in link above).

But I've had my CB750F1 for a few years now and despite a modern BMW RT in my garage the F1 is my 'go too' machine for touring.

Happy days.

Some great bikes there and it all looks very friendly. I particularly like the Triton, nice build.

The T160 is a really good looking bike, they finally got it right after that abomination with the bread bin tank. Can't believe Triumph actually paid a design agency to come up with that awful concept. Beats me why they didn't put Craig Vetter's Hurricane into full production, now that is a beauty.

Stumbled across this gem during our last tour...

An M33 was my first "big" bike after my 150d Lambretta.
