perfect combination?
« on: November 05, 2015, 09:24:32 PM »
Featherbed Frame, Goldie engine

What's not to love?

My pub discussion project bike would be an ABSAF Goldie replica engine in a featherbed with Manx bodywork

Just waiting for that lottery win

Nah, watch this space! :o

I have somewhere in my posession a Classic Motorbike glossy magazine that went out to Africa (and back) with me. That was 20 years ago!
I'll have to have a rummage and find the article. I should be able to scan and somehow get the pic up. The bike if I remember was a Featherbed but IRC it had a Cammie Norton engine.

Watch this space!

(It could take some time!)

I'm with Steve, a tent and ANY bike is a combination, because that's an adventure  ;)

I hope nobody minds me taking this thread, a little off-track....... but my perfect combination would have to be..... Dark side of the moon on the CD player, headphones on, phone switched off ........ and most importantly, nobody in next door..!!   Aaahhhh.... sheer bliss ..!!!

ANY bike could mean adventures in CANbus diagnostics, in which case I'd rather have Calleynes guitar music.

Add Jamesons (or Albanian "schnaps" for the sausage machine)  and a decent cigar and you improve both though.

Well as we're off track now, how about this..................



Perfect biking weather, fantastic campsite, pub within staggering distance serving Guiness, accompanied by some great mates.

What's not to like? ;D
