I'm going to sling some sh*t here..... I've got a Matchless G80....500ccs of pre/post war British Cr*p, it was made around 1960 and you can trace the motor design to the 1930s....AMC designed racing V4s and won the 1st World Championship...but when Edward Turner (Triumph CEO) returned from a fact finding trip to Japan saying " there's no problem here, they only want to build small bikes" we were f*ckd..
30 years later BMW gave up on Rover, saw the Mini opporchancity and buggered off.
Our 60 year Hari Kari will be complete when Boris and his Nigel sucking loonies bluster us out of the EU in January......Covid will be a walk in he park in comparison.....RANT OVER.
