I remember picking up as many packets of Rothmans as I could fit into my pockets at the British GP one year (from the hospitality suite).



I smoked one cigarette and went back inside to put them all back again.

fecking horrible things.

Tis vile. On occasions I have been known to drunkenly puff on a cigar and then regret it for the next few days. :sick:

That said, two of the bestest ever racing paint jobs were the plain black and gold JPS cars and the red, white and blue Martini. Fags, booze and fast cars, probably the least woke combination you can put together. :thumbup:

I was wondering what that was...

Those are selling for stupid money, like $50k+. Mate has one in his garage that I think he rode twice.

It seems they've been making them since 2014. I guess people must be buying them (at £112k) for them to still be going.

I can almost feel the gravitational pull of that beast. I rode a stock one years ago and it was the weight of a Goldwing.
