Hee, hee...you left out electrics by Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. Had a 4-banger myself, back in the day. Left hand drive, right-handed 3-speed shift pattern with a toggle on the dash for 4th. My roomate had an MG and we had a snatch-rope for towing one or the other to our neighborhood mechanic. He was a jolly little Asian guy who would just grin and shake his head during our weekly visits, and say "Why don't you guys just buy a Chevy?"
The Brits had an unique mindset toward mechanical design. If you were a "motorist" or a "cyclist," it was expected you were also a hobbyist, equipped with spanners and spares and prepared to do your own roadside tinkering. "Low maintenance" was just not in their lexicon. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
