Thank you for sharing. As a matter of interest how many man hours to restore and a ballpark figure of costs? Thank you

I would love to visit but the ‘entrance charge’ at nearly £100 per head is outrageous (and no concessions). So you get ‘membership’ and access to other attractions on the estate, but if you live far away that makes no sense. On the other hand if you are local and can easily take advantage of the wider benefits, you get a massive discount. Crazy.

Amazing Roman Villa, I was in Naples, Italy twice 2022-2023. Visited Pompeii and Herculaneum site twice and I was imagining what was the villa looks like in it’s true form. Now, I know….it’s amazing the architecture on how Roman built their houses. I have a you tube channel where I posted my visit to the sites. WRHAE channel check it out. 👍😃

These circa 1960 bikes are extremely popular at the moment largely due to old timers like myself who rode them in their era. It's a combination of nostalgia and engineering beauty. It's difficult to relate to modern bikes entitrely covered in plastic sheeting. But at the time many of us were easily seduced away by the big Japanese bikes eg. Honda's CB750 which emerged in 1969. My late father, who was into bikes all his life (he rode an 'Indian' in the U.K. as early as the 50s) , used to sacastically state, with much exaggeration, that the new Japanese bikes were engineered to 0.25 mm whilst the British bikes - 0.25 inches. But the essence of that statement was nevertheless true. In 10-15 years when most of us old timers (if still around) will at best be riding bath chairs I wonder just how popular these old British bikes will be as I don't see many youngsters expounding their virtues? My present bike? A (year 2000) Honda Valkyrie Interstate. Throw the bad eggs.

I've owned and riden both British and Japanese bikes from the 1960s onwards but it's only the British bikes I love, while the Japanese are more appreciated than loved. Also Motorcycles from all the previous decades to the 1960s are all loved and appreciated by riders who never owned them as youths. Therefore, I expect the younger generation will also love and appreciate these beautiful machines too.

Fantastic, those the sounds of my youth.Remember the smell of Castrol R as an apprentice mechanic working in a small village near Swindon during the mid to late 60’s, going to speedway watching young men like Barry Briggs from NZ where I ‘ve lived since early 70’s I think it was for the Red Robins Barry rode for, is that club still going? Also Ivan Maugers, sorry probably spelt that great riders name wrong. Yeah i was sure fortunate living through that era and living in eyesight of Uffington White Horse. Thanks so much for this awesome video wish all you guys n gals the best of safe riding bless you one n all. Robert Smith👍👍👍
