As they say though, don't knock it until you try it and as I have never ridden an American machine from the classic or vintage era if there is anyone out there willing to give a test ride I'll be more than happy to oblige!Richard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-60012195449859463502017-12-30T15:06:33.793+00:002017-12-30T15:06:33.793+00:00No I cannot see the attraction of these bikes at a...No I cannot see the attraction of these bikes at all or any American bike, I'd give garage room to an early Henderson four maybe.

I understand that the performance is ok if you bore out to 600 and do some simple tuning. Mind I met a guy recently who had a Harley WL motor in a BSA A10 frame and it seemed like a good way of halving the speed of the bike.<br />I think the only corners this particular 741 saw were whilst going around the arena of steam fairs!Richard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-5606664827674925652017-12-29T15:20:42.148+00:002017-12-29T15:20:42.148+00:00Proof that if you put lipstick on a pig its still ...Proof that if you put lipstick on a pig its still a pig.!! <br />He didn't go round corners on those tyres .<br />kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00989514363380698274noreply@blogger.com
