    New to this forum. My main bike is one of Hinckley’s retros, the Thruxton cafe racer. I’ve had it since new - 2006. The other is a Triton, which I acquired last year and am hoping to put back on the road this month.

    Thank you both. I’m looking for to riding it. Currently I’m in the process of adding a working tachometer.

    There are still a few of us about Lobo, although I find the sports bikes (café racers in our day) rather uncomfortable after an hour or so these days. I'm impressed you still have the sixties look riding gear including the mandatory white silk scarf, funnily enough I was looking at the Lewis Leather Shop a few nights back (a little more money now though), gosh it took me right back to the sixties, I certainly feel blessed riding in those golden years what more could you want. No drones watching you then, no mobile phones, no internet, no crap, just great camaraderie with like minded people. Ride safe all from an ageing Rocker.

    indeed they’re were good days. There’s still quite a few of us left and the camaraderie is stilll there, if somewhat different. Ride safe my friend.
