Anchorism

As i was in the process of picking up a new mattress, a guy down the street pulled out this old bike.  I asked him how old the bike was. His old german man response was, "Its 62! Just as old as me!" I kinda got a kick out of it and continued to admire the classic rig.  Shortly after snapping a couple photos, an old lady pulled in the drive then walks over to me.  Whispering to me she states, "Do you know how old that bike is??.......... Just as old as the rider!" She chuckles and wadles away.   

Old german people make me laugh, they express themselves in such a funny manner...... Anyhow without further adeu here is the 1950 Triumph

My Gawd, a Hesketh, I'd forgotten about those. Has a style all it's own.

Love this quote-typical backhanded english compliment.
"So long as you understand that you're buying a handbuilt, relatively sedate, classic British motorcycle, you're not likely to be disappointed with the performance of the Hesketh V1000."

And my personal favourite, the very pinnacle of British motorcycling.
