My personal reaction is that the owner deserves a punch in the face for NOT riding such a nice bike


Totally agree , one of my mates has an Original 1974 750ss which he bought on credit over 4 years when a 17 year old apprentice ,in 1974, he still rides it a few times a year , rest of the time it sits in pride of place in his lounge ,, alongside a Norton Race bike and a old MV750 -4 they all get ridden sometimes he hates collectors that just hold bikes for future value .
