True.

How about the following tagline: they come for the GTR but stay for the people

...I'll be quiet now!

Or we could all just try and get along in harmony, love each other, respect each other, & buy each other a pint at the BMW annual meet in The Lakes next year.  :whistling:

Dont worry Debs, there's a good chance that the German bikes will be in the dealers workshops having new short engines and/ or gearboxes fitted.   So they may not even get there.  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

There are two things which concern me deeply about that photo.....
1/ Why is someone sat on a bike playing a banjo or whatever it is. (I wont even mention the guys excuse for a helmet)!
2/ Why is the guy sat on the other bike staring longingly and lovingly into the banjo playing guy's eyes!  :wacko:

That photo is just wrong on so many levels.  :no:

I'm sure this guy was at the Prestcot Hill Climb - Very Authentic!!!  I'm sure there are a few on here, especially the BMW Riders with slippers that could match him.....  LOL :banana:   :whistling:

I think you'll find that the answer lies within the name George Formby Steve.....its a BMW thing and will all become clear to you in the fullness of time  :mfr_lol:   :whistling:

I believe the Shuttleworth Flyer was a Triumph.....perhaps a Trophy would be the natural progression after a Versys, sorry, GTR....keep getting confused what site this is with the championing of the V1 (Oh heck!  That was German)  :whistling:

The original was a disguised 350 AJS, but the current replica is a modified 1920s flat tank Triumph
