A former manager of mine had a Griffith 500 and what a beast it was too. It weighed slightly more than the shed it was built in, and had the same dubious-fitting panels as the average garden shed too. The engine however was marvellous.
We went to the Bike show many years ago and came down a slip-road on to the M6 and by the time we hit the carriageway we were doing 130.
When we arrived at the NEC, he twisted a knob in the centre consul to open the passenger door and it duly popped open and then dropped clean off the hinges. We spent an hour trying to reattach it before going in to speculate on a pair of MV Agustas.
