Its very obvious to me, Graham, It's a grey/silver bike in a London pea souper! Well done to the photographer for the excellent detail on the cooling fins.

Aye Kurt,

I suspect new gallery has removed old links, or I might be talking through my 'trumpet volountary'!

NICE! ;D (http://www.thumperclub.com/drupal/system/files/imagecache/node-gallery-display/photographs/2010/thumper4b239c5c906cc.jpg)

I have to agree that it would be very tasty, but not under our current climatic conditions! ::)

My regards, Bill.

Aye SteveH,

 ;D I admit that I was surprised by the SP370 being the object of desire! ;) However, having known of one with less than 8K miles on the clock, nothing would surprise me! ::)

The 'Charioteer' obviously finds them attractive.  :-X

My regards, Bill.

It was my first 'big' thumper - 1983ish ?. Low miles and near perfect condition. Really nice engine - better in my opinion than the 400cc that followed it, pretty quick and very economical - I once managed 100MPG on a leisurely plod around Norfolk and never less than 70MPG. Handled beautifully, you could really throw it into corners ( especially when I fitted road tyres!). Only downside was really crap lights (6v) ...it should have been sold with a long stick for feeling your way after dark!

I eventually traded it for my first BMW.  Sadly the d!ckhead that bought it went off roading on private land , got it stuck in a ditch and when he came back with some mates to drag it out it had been torched...shame.

Lots of good memories with that bike.......

Aye Steve#222

I'll have to see if that one I knew of, is still loitering in it's warm dry shed.  :)

My regards, Bill.
