This IS a "BIKE OF THE YEAR".
A British built Bike that not only rides well, the build quality, tubing specification, Spec Choices, all made it a ground breaker IMHO, the Paintwork simply added then and now to the WOW factor that made people sit up and take notice of the Quality that WAS coming from our little Island, when so often overlooked in favour of U.S and Foreign Imports.
Well Done G, it would make my RETROBIKE year, to see the big three (the D.O.G.S, the C.A.T.S and the D.O.N.K.I.S) win BOTM, and have to go head to head in a BOTY competition.............What a RETROBIKE year this would be...., Perhaps the ultimate in viewing choice, and RESPECT for our British builders.
RULE BRITANNIA.
