I agree, and I used to think these kinds of things were cool until i realized that the things required to ride safely at those speeds just aren’t present on old shit boxes like these. I’m not a fan of british bikes either, those fuckers can’t build anything mechanical that doesn’t fall apart. Except for the harrier.
