Well, we do have pics of a very nice 1970 Triumph Bonneville and a 1965 Lambretta GT200 in the archive if you want them featured.......... Seriously, it will always be a Matchless or AJS machine on the cover. It's nice to have the occasional modern one.1608 wrote:Have to wonder what will appear on the front cover next!! whether they are good or bad I think is missing the point. Where will it all end
AJS as a company have always been very supportive of our club, the Brown family are a lovely bunch. They give us free of charge a £2k bike very year for our raffle. They have consistently won awards for their back-up and customer service. The machines are well made, obviously to a price but the market for prestige 125 bikes is limited and within their market sector they are leaders in build quality. We can stand behind their bikes very proudly.
I remember clearly in the Sixties (or, erm, perhaps my dad told me....) people saying similar things about Jap bikes; won't be around in twenty years, they're rubbish. Their classic models now seem to command pretty high values for ancient rubbish! Everyone 'knows' the Chinese are terrible engineers. How they became the first to land on the dark side of the moon is inexplicable......
Happy New Year everyone!
