Hi,

The Rocket 3 is certainly different. It is also certainly hideous, and as representative of British or European motorcycling ethos as, oh I dunno, the man in the moon, say. That station in life is held by German and Italian manufacturers, for which we ought to be truly thankful.

You always struck me as a true Maggie supporter, remember the Falklands.

Surely you got to admit that she has done more for this country than the current p***ock whose in office

aha what a car , remember buying one in the early 80s for a £10 , pea green coloured pile of rubbish, BUT had a big comfy back seat if you know what I mean

I bought one in 1983 for £50, and wrote it off the same year. It was also green, but had a white passenger door - just like a *****-mowbeel.
