New British motorbikes

Post by Kev L »

Given the conversations that have taken place on here with regard to the Motorbike show and mainly it's presenter, Henry Cole, would you buy a new motorcycle from this man -

Who knew he was related to Mr Gladstone!!!

:lol:

By the way anyone who buys MCN have a look in the my photo's section and my little Grandaughter, Florence, is in there with Tommy Hill. Rumours that she has been taken on as his test rider, to push the boundaries, are pure speculation!!!! :lol:

Nice looking bike but is that really a drum brake on the front?!

Hope it isn't as boring as Henry Cole!

Drum brake hell, have you ever ridden a hard tail bike??

Getting to old for that kind of non-sense...... :beer:

Doesn't matter, the cruiser boys don't use the front brake anyhow.... they think they will get catapulted over the bars if they touch it, lol Besides, the real important issue here is the poser points from the drum... not to be overlooked/underestimated (since that's about all these losers care about anyhow)!

I personally think it looks like a piece of sh1t. What a waste of a Bonnie engine which happens to look like a 125 in that frame. :thumbdown:

any more than about quarter of an hour and I reckon you would be in some sort of agony.
would rather have a triumph thruxton and about 14,000 pound change all day long. I thought a bike had to have a front mudguard to be street legal anyway ?.

Henry Cole justs seems like a weirdo to me.
