That really is a nice looking outfit, very practical and would be good for longer camping trips.

Prices just seem to climb on anything and everything. I heard Stuart Garner of Norton explaining that the new Atlas 650 twins are priced as entry level bikes. £10,000 and £12,000! Clearly I use a different entry to them.

And if bikes look bad look away from Landrovers !

I earn a decent whack - but wow - and £10k is not entry level in my book either.

Makes those "mighty Enfields" look positively cheap eh, I was looking at the interceptor and the V twin bobber at the weekend down at the NEC bike show. Looks like you get a fair amount of bike for your money. Both very nice looking mosheens, I was well impressed with the V twin, lovely looking bobber.

If I was looking for something like that I'd be searching for a nice Norton Wasp outfit. Something like this: http://www.owensmotoclassics.co.uk/product/norton-rt2-wasp-850cc-1974/

It would be easy to make it road legal. I used to ride against some of these in long distance pre-65 trials and they were terrifying!
