Well, I was stating an aspiration.

Angie bought me a Syd Snott, black leather jacket for my last birthday.

It sortof goes with the black Striple, but it would work much better
with a Bonnie. <sigh>

So many bikes to lust after, so little garage space.

If that really is a question, Johno, then yes it is, and they seem to do
a nice job of it.

I think the Street Triple that I have, was actually made in England (by
Estonians, according to rumour) but production may have been moved to
Thailand since mine was built.

<shrug> The Syd Snott jacket was made in Pakistan. See if I care!

A tempting offer, perhaps slightly later in the day?

I'm still trying to get the caffeine levels up to scratch.

Well in that case, go the Thruxton over the Bonnie..definitely more
real world poke, handles and brakes better.
