You can't mention Brit iron without mentioning Frank Stanboroughs Manx Norton Metisse. Frank is 72 years old and has hand built nearly every part of the short stroke Manx engine. It's a swiss watch of a  power plant with a Jawa speedway crank and shitloads of interesting and unique features. The bike was originally built as a racer but as Franks health problems and age pretty much prevent him from racing, he's made the bike road legal and it's on club plates. We may still see it in MX trim on the track though if current plans come off. He's currently building a '59 Greeves powered by an NSU Sportmax engine that replicates Brian Stonebridges 1958 GP ride and also features some amazing internal engineering. It was planned to debut the bike at CD6 but unfortunately time ran out.

Hell I would rather bicycle past Black Power headquarters dressed a Ku Klux Klansman or go to Waitangi weekend in a 'fork te Triti' T shirt than take on the 55kgs of enraged blonde that sleeps next to be.  ;D
