I must admit I did have a good day out when I went and visited the showroom last year (despite getting lost in Hudson on the way there). It was quite nice to see some of the bikes that they built up close and check out the workmanship on them although I would have reservations about taking any of their bikes out for a spin.

Some of the shows were good and the guys did a great job in supporting charities and armed forces charities.

The drama that always ensued was a bit tiresome but thats probably what the TV executives wanted.

I hope they don't go under because of the TV deal, it might have them concentrate knocking out a few decent practical bikes.


Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
