Indicators look vulnerable down there and has the engine been raised? I doubt if that would help the handling. Looks to me to be more style over function. Reply to this message | Report message

>> www.thechap.net/ lol, how the hell did you come across that website? I'm trying to think of any posters who might subscribe to that 'look', but that's the beauty, I've got no idea what anyone looks like on here (my imagination serves me well) except dog, who denies the photo was him anyway :-) Last edited by: corax on Sat 4 Dec 10 at 14:19 Reply to this message | Report message

Great shop The Chap. I feel an order may be.... well in order. www.thechap.net/content/images/shop/grooming/morgans-large.jpg Don't see this in the local Tesco. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Don't see this in the local Tesco. >> Quite and nor should you, such a product is for a discerning gentleman. After perusing The Chap Shoppe again i was most distressed at not finding a charismatic selection of Cravates, luckily my collection is still enough for the time being, but i shall of course write to The Chap's proprietor and inform him of his oversight.

...i was most distressed at not finding a charismatic selection of Cravates... Funny you should say that, I noticed the same thing and thought it a grievous omission. Reply to this message | Report message

It's the type of bike where one would wear a cravat (tartan - wax cotton) and a pudding basin helmet so one could clench one's pipe in one's teeth. Reply to this message | Report message

They have signally failed to stock the most beneficial shaving products, by Trumper, who resides in London, apparently. www.trumpers.com/ This is simply not on. Reply to this message | Report message

...having products, by Trumper, who resides in London... Shop in Curzon Street, Mayfair, just off Berkeley Square, next to a building everyone said was full of spooks. Trumper's claim to fame was being barber to Prince Charles. So you know where to go if you think the heir to the throne has a particularly stylish haircut. (Somewhere else, if you ask me.)

Well, even Trumpers can't perform miracles. Just consider his familial aural appurtenances, and see the challenge they face. Reply to this message | Report message

The exhaust looks like it would keep your inside leg warm in winter. Last edited by: gmac on Sat 4 Dec 10 at 16:56 Reply to this message | Report message

It's a motor bike, noisy, uncomfortable, liable to get you killed, and falls over when you stop. :-) Reply to this message | Report message

I've just looked at PU's link and "wrought iron?" was about the first question (apart from *why?*). Reply to this message | Report message

Going back to PU's initial post on the link it said... *This 2003 Triumph Bonneville T100 has been modified to have the look and feel of a classic Scrambler* Here is a real classic scrambler from the early 50s. Champion Brian Stonebridge around the early 1950s on a Matchless (I think??). He was a friend of the family, Dad took the picture. Sadly Brian died in a car crash around 1959. s245.photobucket.com/albums/gg72/SealgairC420/?action=view¤t=BrianS.jpg Here is a cracking image of a later machine he rode (Greeves 250)... great restoration. wiki.classic-motorbikes.net/wikid/File:2.JPG Reply to this message | Report message

>> Here is a cracking image of a later machine he rode (Greeves 250)... great restoration. Villiers Starmaker? How I lusted after a 'bike with one of them in the 60's. Reply to this message | Report message
