Not necessarily bad etiquette as others do, but some discount is normally offered.

You will always get comments on originality. The custom builders on here put up with it!

Me - I love an original, but none of my 500/550s back in the day lasted more than a couple of weeks without being changed in some way (see avatar)

If you are going to take advantage of the audience offered by this forum, the least you could do is offer a discount over your eBay listing.

PDQ Motorcycle Developments in Taplow (Maidenhead) sorted out my Triumph Sprint.

Not sure if they have old bike expertise. Best to ask.

Nothing to do with the website but everything to do with your browser.

Phones are really good at putting images the right way up. Some PC browsers are pretty good too.

I’m on my phone at the moment so the image looks fine to me.

700miles + range, 10min charge time claimed.


You’d have to live next to a power station.

How many amps is that?

There’s a guy rides round Wokingham on an R1 with dreadlocks on the outside of his helmet.

Always makes me smile.

And yet all new taxis are electric in London. I don’t see a collapse in numbers.

ULEZ coming to a city near you soon.

I was in Central London last week (Regents Street etc) and two out of every three cars was electric. Even the taxis.

I spoke to Peter James and he admitted that he just couldn’t compete on modern bikes (2022 Triumph Tiger 660)

Happy to quote on the 500 but declined the Triumph.

When I was a young electronics engineer  in Bracknell (1980s), my boss had a 1275GT with all sorts of “Stage” stuff.

It was like a go-cart but good for surprising the (then) go-faster foreign cars (whilst looking up at their door mirrors as you zoomed away).

M25 this morning following a foreign artic doing 75.

Do they not have to stick to the same laws as UK drivers?

Do they have tachographs?

No idea what nationality but it had red plates.

Define “old”.

My mum is 90. That’s old.
