They are Bryan with the top fin cut off. The motor runs short rods but still a 750.

I went and collected my kit from them 76 ish when they had a "few" Rickman Interceptors for sale, wish i could have afforded one!
From memory it started white smoking after a few thousand miles due to iffy rings, i think Charlies in Bristol said they were BSA A65plus 20 but cant guarantee that it was lots of guiness ago!

Have been out riding quite a bit recently but not taken any photos.
Been to a couple of Bike Nights, which as usual, have been really well supported.
Here's a photo from today 😊😊.

Took the Bonneville out for a run after work and met up with a pal on his CB750 K7 for a cup of tea. Did just under 100 miles and it was getting quite cold on the hands on the way back, it wasn’t until I was ten minutes from home that I remembered it has heated grips… that helped!!

I took a ride to the Cutty Sark expecting the Rotherhithe tunnel to be chocker-block because the new Silvertown Tunnel is already closed again for 17 days ( what could possibly have gone wrong?  ;D ) but no, mostly motorcycling par excellence ( by London standards) all the way to Greenwich maritime just for once, then off to the best view in London by the Royal Observatory Greenwich, right on the meridian line. I sat on the plinth of General Wolfe's statue that is also there and soak in view  8). You can actually park without fee or fear up there ( yes really, in London! )  and when I went back to my bike a very nice Japanese lady was taking pictures of Elen, my CB400F2.
She says 'can I takee picture of you? Velly nice bike, I have one likee this when I was a girl too!'  ;D

Great views George and always a bonus to find free parking in London👍. Maybe the Japanese lady wanted to buy Elen🙂
