Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

The co-owner of the Porsche dealership I worked for was a collector who loved having the first run/limited edition of anything. He was also friends with Eric Buell. The standing joke was when Eric needed a little extra cash flow, he'd slap a new paint scheme and a few goodies on an existing model, re-brand it as a "Special Edition" and my boss would gobble it up
i love the Trumpet Flat Tracker. And the Honda Race Reps. Nice Beezas Too.
Seems like a good day out.
It was several years ago at a little meet near where I used to live. I had just got my Beemer back on the road and rode it up there mostly just to look at the other bikes. They invited me to put it in the show although I didn’t feel it was as nice as most of the other bikes.
Its a fine looking machine. As a BMW bike owner I can only compliment your choice of steed.
Now that the suns finally out we thought we'd take a proper ride.
So British! Look, the weather is so miserable they're actually enjoying themselves.
Yep. Looks like an Ariel.
The sign on the wall says 'Rinso', Maybe an early drive through wash system?
Couldn't resist looking it up.
"Rinso is a brand name of laundry soap and detergent marketed by Unilever. The brand was created by Robert Spear Hudson and originally branded Hudson's Soap, which was sold to Lever Brothers of Port Sunlight, England, in 1908.[1] It was introduced in the United States by Lever Brothers Company in 1918."
I'm the plumber, I'm here to lay some pipe.
MORE BAD NEW FOR THE MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY:
This may effect ROTAX too as they supply CCM engines.

A great shame. Used to own a CCM 640 supermoto and it were a fab little bike.
Another British bike manufacturer bites the dust?

Very sad to see CCM go bust again. There's an inevitability to this though trying to manufacture something in the UK from a collection of imported parts, fit a Chinese engine, then try to sell it for £10,000. And I guess they lost money on every one they made.
Sad for the guys who worked there and another blow to the economy of North West England.

That spokesman sounds like a git.
