Maybe give the 450 another airing today for a wee while. ;)

Good health, Bill

From the feature;

"He took a wabi-sabi approach on the build—a Japanese design philosophy that finds beauty in imperfection."

Being a scruffy Herbert at heart, this is right up my toori. Thanks for posting 👍

Very nice indeed!

Unbeknownst to me, I've been following the wabi-sabi approach all my life. My bikes look good from about ten feet away, but all is revealed the closer you get! 🥴

Lovely 250 that, but don't you get sick of trendy wankers coming up with poncey names for what we Thumpeteers have been doing for donkeys years? It used to be called make-do-and-mend but I suppose some hipster moron won't pay a twat tax of thousands of pounds for that. Still, it is a nice bike.

They'll have to take us seriously now, Pete! Can't wait for the next time one of mates down the pub takes the piss out of my bike! 😂
