There is definitely a ‘look’ that seems to go with this style of bike; boots, dark blue jeans with turn-ups, chunky shirt (tucked in of course), beard, quaffed hair and tatoo’s.
They’re all bloody slim as well which rules me out of three counts (no hair, fat and I don’t like needles).
Not sure what they do for a living but at least it’s getting young un’s on bikes.
I would also say that while not applicable to all of them, not sure how some would stand up to daily use but maybe not the point. The ones in the car park had the smell of fresh paint that’s got hot for the first time.
Seeing a lot of these bikes around on my way to and from work, much more in the summer for some reason.
When I’m scrapping the ice off the seat in Jan don’t see a single one (but at least parking is easy)
