There are many of us who can remember the first time we saw a BSA, with its candy red and chrome gas tank shining in the sun. And we remember seeing our first Norton Commando, with its sleek lines that have the word "thoroughbred" written all over it. Or a pre-unit Triumph Bonneville or Trophy, looking like it could set a record with nothing but a kick and a twist. The
Velocette clubman racer was a simple, elegant single that was aesthetic perfection. And the first time I saw a Vincent, I spent an hour examining it. Those bikes still amaze me. There's an awful lot of romance involved in our love for classic British bikes. The manufacturers that survive, Norton and Triumph,have a lot to live up to.
Some things really should last forever
