    Flip purple and bronze, unlike the straight gay purple on the blue or
    green ones. I was gutted, after I'd bought it, when I saw the decals on
    mine were mainly purple. I'd always viewed red C2s from a slight angle
    and only ever seen the bronze flip tone.

    What really gutted me was paying 75 quid for a set of decals for the
    left side, decals in a colour I hate.

    No. Magnificent examples of engineering certainly but just machines.
    If there is any art in them at all it usually painted/bolted on after.
    A Showman's Engine body bolted onto what would otherwise be a council
    steam roller springs to mind. Or the wrought iron work in Victorian
    shit pumping stations.


    Dunno, do you?
    I'll concede that.

    So we can agree that there is almost no art in you then.

    You have no soul, old man. And frankly, in your condition, that should
    be a worry.
    I do.
    An acceptable compromise.

    I dunno. You never hear anybody saying anything bad about limbo do you?
    Got to be worth a consider I reckon. I mean, heaven hasn't been the
    same since we started letting the French in and who wants to go
    somewhere hot and not be able to get a decent cup of tea with top of the
    milk and 2 and a half sug's? Not on is it? Nah mate, limbo for me.
    Best place for an old existentialist to end his days I reckon and
    perhaps ponder if maybe the nihilists had a point.

    I was speaking to the mechanic at Bikes of Brighton the other day and he
    actually said "the last of the 750 Turbos".

    <me - thinking in excited inside voice>
    "please say 'piece of history', please".

    Problem with the CPU between the ears, I suspect. Getting a bit long
    in the tooth now.

    The end of an era.
    I thought the R1's were quite reliable.
