Now WAIT a minute here fellas!
First, Stew. You're gonna sit there at that keyboard o' yours and tell me that that Erector-Set lookin' Confederate motorcycle looks like it'll cut through the wind as well as the Britten with that gorgeous FLOWING bodywork on it? HUH?! The Britten hasn't a square surface to be found anywhere on it! That's called "aerodynamic", ya know!
(but once again, you'll have to LOOK PAST that bubblegum-colored paint if it's not to your liking, through I always did like MY Bazooka Joe, for whatever THAT'S worth here!)
AND, as much as the Confederate is "outside-the-box thinking" incarnate, it pales in comparison to the innovations that that Kiwi genuis Britten came up with on his machine. Remember the Britten has NO FRAME. everything us bolted directly to the HOME-DESIGNED and HOME-MADE engine. AND, this baby ALSO came out of nowhere and BEAT the best established motorcycle brands and their racers at Daytona.
(there's ya a "pedigree to greatness" RIGHT THERE!!!)
And Ian...just because you're not crazy about modern race/sport motorcycles, doesn't mean that they can not be looked on as beautiful machines in their own right, ya know. Not ALL "beautiful motorcycles" have to look like a 1938(that's RIGHT, I said 1930-EIGHT
) Speed Twin, ya know!!!
