Sorry that came across as confrontational.
Bat dad, was the jeep and that made me laugh and play the batman theme tune changing batman for bat dad.
As for the tyres, I like the look of these old style tyres to look at on a bike
With the rider dressed as an original ton up boy.
Have been lucky enough to ride one of the alleged ton up bikes from the 60s and they are scary to ride compared to modern bikes of two decades ago.

Maybe compared to bikes of two decades ago, though the only thing I've found scary is shit brakes. I think the Triumph twins of the late 60s/70s were better handling than most of the UJM machines of the same era. I'd go as far as saying a nice 68-70 TR6C or something is a way more enjoyable bike to ride than the last gen of modern oil-cooled Bonnevilles.

I'll bite.
Of course it suffers a little from that sort of crap but I love it. Nothing is perfect off the peg.
I looked at a lot of bikes. KTMs, all off the japanese options, various triples, even the speed triple, R nineT. i wanted a rumbly twin, and especially this twin. The engine is a really nice thing.
The R NineT was a strong contender but the shop said they had no ETA to replace the one that sold from under my nose.
New rolled bench seat is on the way without the funny pointy part, which should tone down the bat part. time, miles and a few very easy aesthetic changes will tone down the dad part.
