Interesting Bikes you don't normally see on the road

[Minkey]

I was at work the other day when a customer came in carrying a crash helmet, I got into conversation with him and asked what bike he had. I then had to go and have a look and sat there was a Vincent in great condition, not the normal bike you see. I have only ever seen one before and that was in a bike museum, great to see it being used

Seen two lately....... Nowt as exotic as a Vinny but still...................
An Arial Arrow was parked at our local shops, and I overtook a Scott Flying Squirrel on the A11 on Sunday

Nice to see. I don't think I've ever seen a Vincent in everyday use. Except Ogri. Obviously.

Was it McGrey or McRed...?

That's cos you're a devout car driver now.

Sadly the only motorbikes that have caught my attention recently were i central Amsterdam - anyone who has been there will appreciate the roads are very much dominated by push bikes and pedestrians. Cars basically defer to them.

But apparently not if you are on a race rep motorbike - you rev it up to 12k and force your way through. Absolute idiots in an otherwise peaceful system.

I did see a Vitory being used on the road, that must be a rare sight!

I saw a Bimota SB6 parked up in town on Monday morning, good job it was raining as it was washing my drool off it
