Sad day. Sold my old 1954 Ariel Motorbike

Ooh! Sorry to hear that - he must have been quite young, and you don't expect a heart attack then...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
Yeh, think he early 40's. He was a non-smoker, didn't really drink, fitness fanatic and his ticker just gave up one day at home. Just goes to show, you just don't know when your numbers up, (just like the other guys I worked with lately!)

Not a joke. How about Royal Enfield[^]? They never stopped making them, they kept on building them in India and have kept on refining the old construction for daily use in India, and nowadays they just work. Well, that was at least true fifteen years ago. I had a friend in my hometown that had one that he used everyday no matter the weather, and it simply just worked.

I like the look of the Royal Enfields too, but then Harley came out with some small cafe-raceresque bikes this year.

I find the rear lights quite ugly, but on the battle green version I can live with that.

No one ever sees them anyway.

I've had it for about 20 years, but at least it gone to a friend who is going to tidy it up back to show condition. Now my man shed looking a bit bare. So I might look for another classic bike. Not British this time, maybe jap. Any ides? And please don't mention hardly movingsons

Used to be a commercial for Kawasaki "Put something exciting between your legs" always a good selling point!

Honda had a radio ad that only played for a short time before it got banned about 20 years ago. Went something like "Ladies, wouldn't you like something big red and thrubbing between your legs. Then get down to your local honda dealer....."
I don't remember that one, but very ?creative?. :)

It any played for a short time any I think it was created by a Honda dealer rather then honda itself
Yeah that makes more sense, I can't see Honda putting anything on the air waves that would be that provocative. I surprised Kawasaki got away with it for as long as they did.

I don't know if its been mentioned, but how about 650cc Triumph TR6 Trophy, Steve McQueen's bike from the great escape? If it were me though, can't beat an old Indian..

Has been mentioned yet. The challenge for those sort of bikes (and indians) is found one in this small corner of the universe..
Or in some cases, to find one that costs less than your house. :sigh:
