What a lovely looking machine, I’ve never had a British bike but if I did it would be a Norton.
I have a friend’s 1939 350 Enfield in my garage, that’s the only British bike I’ve ever ridden and I ended up in the bloody hedge when I realised the brakes were awful!!

I almost did the opposite JAT, the most modern bike I'd ridden up to 1996 was my '76 900SS Bevel which I believed to be the ultimate in sports bikes. '96 had me on a 916 SPS and I got one hell of a fright with the difference; approaching a corner at some daft speed the balls were rattling off the tank with the braking and the bend negotiated nae bother, amazing the technology 20 year apart.

I get blown away when out on the 996, i've always had Jap bikes i then got a Ducati 900ss ie in 2015 and that was it i was bitten!! It got wrote of last Feb when an idiot in a van took me out !! I had done over 79K miles on it and rode it to Italy and back in 2015 for the Misano Motogp, great bike that i miss a lot.
