We also went to the London Motorcycle Museum to drool over even more old bikes!<br /><br />Charlie6 – You were one of the sidecars fans I had in mind when I posted that picture. LOL.<br /><br />Bob – I know what you mean about needing to be a mechanic if you had one of those old bikes. Maybe I should open an Ace Cafe somewhere in the US or Canada....?Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-82441834664718194532011-10-13T11:38:03.020+01:002011-10-13T11:38:03.020+01:00Roger – I could stand and look at old bikes all da...Roger – I could stand and look at old bikes all day. Yes to the BMW tourer being big. My friend Paul has one as well and he didn’t seem to have too much trouble on the twisty roads when we rode together in Spain.<br /><br />mq01- I agree, they are no doubt very good for touring, but I just wish they had a bit more character. Efficient and brilliant engineering, yes, but dare I sat it, also a little boring...?<br /><br />Geoff – I am 100% with you on the Cobra! I can see why you were envious of the Thruxton Velocette.<br /><br />Circle Blue – I agree, that would be agony.Gary Francehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05163380727432573785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-66559936719545232702011-10-12T18:38:28.105+01:002011-10-12T18:38:28.105+01:00Gary: I like to stare at old machinery but not b...<b>Gary:</b> I like to stare at old machinery but not being a mechanic I would not own one.

Impressive engineering, but not for me. Would sooner have a Cobra replica or a hot MX 5 when it gets to that level :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the pure bike porn photos Gary, they're exquisite. A friend I went to engineering school with had a Thruxton Velo and us mere mortals on 500 Triumphs always seethed with envy!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-11211970873889224012011-10-11T21:54:49.514+01:002011-10-11T21:54:49.514+01:00i love the look of that bmw, its setup seems quite...i love the look of that bmw, its setup seems quite nice. no wonder those are the long distance riding champs of bikes...mq01https://www.blogger.com/profile/11742343758057005313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505434595026982929.post-72981928408047688472011-10-11T19:44:16.989+01:002011-10-11T19:44:16.989+01:00I think most of us would agree, Old bikes are a wo...I think most of us would agree, Old bikes are a work of art in themselves. <br />Those BMW's sure are big bikes, there was one in the show room when I was buying my GS, most impressive.
