Can't be the same one I have here, as that's a AJS and recorded built by Eric Burgess.

You need to ask the Mallet when you see him at Kempton as it was Uncle Jim that looked after Bud's bikes.

His favourite words of moment - unbelievable, iconic, seminal and eclectic - all used at regular intervals and liberally supplemented by assorted malapropisms. Quite a big door handle in fact.

...........and all spoken in the voice of Baldrick. If HC ever says "I have a cunning plan" then we will know for sure. :D

I thought it was Baldrick too, who is more entertaining than a door handle.

I thought the programes were entertaining. But I have two Triumphs and I love Ducatis. I also have a 1/16 plastic scale model of a Manx Norton so I am surprised Henry didn't turn up to grill me on my deep knowledge of Nortons. Maybe if I had attributed the model to some previous famous owner...

How about his favourite activities?
1. Riding a Norton the length of the UK on TRADE PLATES. Though in fainess, if the appalling reliability of my mates brand new £15k Norton is owt to go by, that's still quite an achievement :?
2. Overtaking and habitually riding on the wrong side of solid white lines
3. Using a non-road legal Davida pudding basin on a regular basis (ok, maybe thats being a bit picky as it's only likely to affect him unless he adds to the NHS burden as a result)

Perhaps amend 'door handle' to 'male chicken' ? :roll:
