Sounds like a right bag of shit going by that article. However, only 2 in the uk and that'll be one of them. Money to burn, I might go for it. Be interesting at Local meets. 👍

It takes a certain sort of chap to spend that much on a rarity that is actually undesirable.

Saw an article on the Comic webshite about new bikes at Sammy Miller's, I spotted this and I think it looks aces!

Image

a 1963 Victoria 155 49cc, otherwise known as the ‘Tin Banana’. Although produced in mass quantities, very few have survived and are now extremely rare and sought after and a seldom seen Art-deco styled bike.

Nope, my racing days are long gone, though I was more riding round being timed than actual racing, if track days had existed in the 80s I doubt if I'd have ever raced on tarmac.

Another £2.5k single from China but it looked like quite a pretty thing, at least in the sunshine.

I'll apologise in advance, this probably should go in either WTAF bikes or random pics!!

But I suppose that in a way it's interesting :1


I flipped between laughing out loud or staring and repeating WTAF :lol: :lol: :lol:
