I remember stating, on TV, many years ago that the motorcycle as we know it, a performance oriented machine of pleasure over practicality, would face a slow death as fuel problems manifested and the safety brigade got more powerful. I was hailed as some kind of idiot but it seems I was simply ahead of my time!
Had the two wheeled industry had the investment and R&D of the tin box then we would be riding some seriously exotic kit. This will always be anathema to the fag rolling Triumph riders, but no one's perfect. (I gave up smoking almost a year a go and my Triumph is recent).
It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt!
