Can't wait to have a Bloody Sore Ankle leaking oil on the garage floor ! Just like the old days spending hours and hours repairing the wiring and repairing never ending oil leaks , I just can't wait ! Sign me up , I'll buy one in a heartbeat just for fun !
I can hear the salesman already with his Indian accent
"Thank you very much , come again!

Hope it's like the Royal Enfield with F/I and a happy button !
Honestly , can't wait to see the new BSAs
Always loved riding home at night high as hell with no head light , only time the headlight would stay on was when it was raining , but when riding in the rain if your knee got to close to the spark plug wire when your hand was touching the clutch lever , WOW , it felt like someone strapped you into the electric chair ! A Real Mans Motorcycle ! What moron thought up the positive ground system ? Some guy named Lucas or was it Lucifer ?

Ahh, yes...vintage British electrical systems...no wonder "Mr. Lucas" was known as "The Prince of Darkness."

Also recall taking a fast, dark, bumpy corner in my '77 Triumph 'Spitfire,' and the flex of the fuse box shutting off the headlights mid-turn. And that little car's heater was a joke.

But, dangggg, back in the day, I thought the '69 Bonneville 650 was IT....SO much sexier than a Honda...lol.

Yeah my brothers MGB was the same way. Triumph Bonny's are great motorcycles. Once I was riding my buddies Bonny on some twisties and rock the size of a bowling ball came down the hillside and rolled into my lane, thought I was gonna die,it stopped right in my line in the middle of a curve and that old Triumph doing at least 50mph hit it with both wheels and kept right on going never went out of my lane with oncoming cars too. Stopped a couple miles down the road to check my shorts and when I got off the bike the front tire blew up ! Right in front of a bar. What a great motorcycle !

It will be fuel injected, all new motorcycles have to be that way to meet the new EU standards......existing motorcycle models get a bit longer to be brought up to the new standards. (The Savage model could be in the last year of production).

All the models of BSA and Jawa that they showed in photos are vintage bikes....don't they have any idea what the new models will look like?

Someday I will be old......But not today!
