bathurt and bikes ?
OOPS !
I was a hopin' old crap bikes at bathurt was going to be about Ian Gowanloch punting his race piped, FUCK YOU LOUD, 900ss ducati ( bevel drive, 1970s , real thang ) about the mountain.
The crowd roared every time he went by.
Loved it.
I saw Hailwoods' and Scaysbrooks' and Billy Macs' bikes in the flesh. Billys' bike really was an old mole. Everyone, and I mean everyone had ridden it, and looked like it.
I'd give a kidney to have that in my lounge room.
On Friday my mate Donny rode his immaculate 1982, silver and blue , 900 supersport to his work ( yes really ). He has had it since we had 'em in the 80's. fatboy for daily like everyother.
Nowdays the softcocks have traction control, anti lock brakes, wheelie control, heated handgrips. Well my beemer does anyhow. Old and soft.
