It depends if you want the period look.

I've used Avon Roadrunners on all my old bikes for the last 10 years. They are similar to those from the 70's but modern compound.  Not sure about quality or supply though since Avon was taken over by an American company a couple of years ago.

You can make an "emergency" funnel with a page from a glossy magazine. Roll it up tight and pour away!

I've even used this method for diesel  :o

Nowadays, Triumph make the reliable Triumphs.

In 2010 they made more bikes (60,000) than the best year ever in the "old" Triumph.

I went out on a Speedmaster today while they were fitting a set of Pilot Road 2s to my Sprint. What a hoot!
865cc parallel twin, 60bhp, highway pegs...

Picture coming soon.

I think the used market gets mopped-up by the chopper builders. Parallel twin with Japanese engineering.

I'm leading a run to Old Sarum Airfield tomorrow (Sunday).

I'm planning for a bumper turn-out given the weather. Biggest so far was for a run to Weymouth last year when 44 bikes showed up!
