  • 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.

  • Tyre tech has also moved on too. Suspect that the tyres on the BSA engined triumph were old and all felt a bit suspect. Also riding someone elses bike that was far different to anything I have ridden before.
