I'm a 1969. My bikes are 1960 Super rocket, 1956 B31 and a 2005 CBF500.
I am surprised at the youthful age of most people on here. I've always been into old bikes since being at school in the 80's. Most people into old british bikes seem to be much older than me. I must be young for my age

Us young blokes are doing our level best to get even younger blokes to realise that these are viable machines with true character and they are
REAL
and can go around corners unlike those hardly rideables!

G'day all,
seems most of us are in our 40's (bikes older), 50's (same age), 60's ( just old enough to remember them new). The younger one's probably remember dad or uncle riding one.
Cheers

In fact I can only scarcely remember my granddad riding his Steyr-Daimler-Puch 2-stroke, british bikes were as rare as virgins in a brothel here.
I've always been fascinated by old technics and had enough of working on yoghurt cups that by now have reached ranges of performance which I don't consider as healthy for myself anymore.
