A bit like the V Twin velo someone made based on Velocette Venom.

Timbo.
This is my 2003 Royal Enfield. Love the fact it looks like 1953 though; a large part of the reason for buying it and modifying it with the single saddle, number plate etc etc!!!!

I thought those pedestrian slicer number plates were illegal? To look the part I suppose you wear an ex-WW2 army GreatCoat, leather helmet and goggles when riding it - or is it race leathers and FF helmet? :D

Nail on head there Timbo :wink:

That's why Jim rides a Blade, FSM rides a SP, I ride a Buell, you ride a CB etc, etc...

I love old classics. There's something "special" about an old bike-whether you class that as there engineering, looks, sounds, quirks or the fact they break down :biggrin

No mate, I totally understand your point of view.

I don't like scooters or cruisers but can understand why someone might.
