Terrific article - I had a blue/silver '65 Bonneville that I sold when I was drafted in '66, then bought a used '66 TR6 when I returned from the land of green t-shirts to go back to school. It's hard to believe how cool those bikes were back in the day - beautiful, fast, and (in my experience) pretty reliable (I did have a Lucas coil fail once). I'd love to have the opportunity to ride one again, but I'm afraid I'd be disappointed after riding modern scoots (currently an Aprilia RSVR and KTM Duke II). When I see an occasional TR from that period these days, they look tiny - times have sure changed.
Question - Why do the English drink warm beer? 'Cause they have Lucas refrigerators.
