Saw this on the BBC news app and thought its such a rare occurrence for them to acknowledge the existence of motorcycles it deserved a mention. That and it’s an interesting article

Re: Rex McAndless
extremely rare for the bbc to have any story that is pro motorcycling...……..
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Re: Rex McAndless
Very interesting. What a talented man. I'd like that old Norton :-)
Two bikes, still only four cylinders!
Re: Rex McAndless
that's probably only because it is from the Norn ireland BCC, they still have bikes in their blood over there and do the TV coverage of all the road races like NW200 and Ulster GP

Cheers for posting that Kev
Good to see the mention
Having owned 3 featherbed frames in my youth (one a spare and the other two complete bikes which were both Triton's) I can say the "featherbed" frames were a BIG break through in how well the bikes handled

Re: Rex McAndless
To be honest it’s a bit of a stretch to say it’s the base of all bikes made now. Certainly not the storm as a case in point.

Re: Rex McAndless
Can you put a featherbed on a big single?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Needs to be a king size at the very least!!
