Too bad there are no more serious British car/motorcycle companies left….No one can match the soul of these machines

Yep this country did lead the world in most fields, but alas no investment where it counted..Now we buy shite from China, and have to put up with it we are becoming the third world slowly..

This film looks like it was produced in the 40′s or 50′s. Was it? Triumphs are the best of the Brit bikes.

Now thats not exactly what you’d call ‘mass production’, is it?While us Brits were employing labour intensive methods such as the selective assembly of gears and trueing the frames by hand, the Japs were busy developing mass produced bikes that would take over the world.Speaking as a forty-something Engineer that ended up having to move from his homeland, I mourn the passing of when Britain used to actually produce real products.
