some who ve made the switch and turned their backs on the old skool and guys below 30 will have a totally different take on things . try telling some old guy that his austin healey sprite is shite because it dos nt have modern tech ! wont wash !
But he would have to appreciate it is shite in comparison.
Like a loved pet that has got old and is a bit stinky now

I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that there is only myself and dan dare who are exclusively regular o/s riders racers with no flirting with n/s bikes at all in the northern series. i have 5 fully built mid racers. all 1" threaded quilled stemmed, all caliper brakes, all soaked in VG parts (which he specifically mentions, some people have no taste ), but i also appreciate that almost every component i love n use has been significantly improved and that from a riders point of view are crap. i am going to get the n/s bike built for this summer and i know i wont get the same buzz from riding it, as riding the older ones is totally the point in my opinion, but i know the n/s bike is gonna be far better equipped n suited for my needs.i also have never owned a car less than 22years old,VWs, jaguars, stag, capri's, fiat x19's, scimitar, cortinas, escorts, monza, audi coupes etc, and appreciate they are all shite in comparison to better handling n more efficient newer cars, but i prefer older cars n thats it.wasnt having a dig, aint missed the point, wasnt even my opinion, just being realistic whether I (or anyone else) likes it or not.
