Welcome

We could spend a lot of time telling you what we are, and what

we're not, and where we're going, and where we've been. Etc. But

what would be the point? You'd only go and press one or more of

the buttons (above or below) and you'd find out anyway—and

without all the propaganda.

So we'll pretty much leave you to it. But before we go, we've got to

put a few keywords on this page to keep Google happy (they

whinged at us recently because all we had was a big Sump logo

device on a black background, and they felt it was a bit thin).

We told them that—hey!—that was how we liked it. Big and bold.

But did they listen? They did not.

So we've now got to mention words like Triumph, Norton, BSA,

Royal Enfield, Vincent, Ariel, Panther, Douglas, Brough, Greeves,

AJS, Matchless, Villiers, Francis Barnett, Cotton, Norman, Scott,

Rudge, Velocette, Sunbeam, James, Excelsior, Villiers, and so on,

and so forth.

We've also got to mention things like classic bikes, and

motorcycling, and British, and motorcycle news and shows and

events and autojumbles and stuff like that. It's all pretty tiresome,

but in this life, you're always dancing to someone's tune. Are we

right?

Anyway, we've done it now and Google has given us the thumbs

up, so we're signing off. We've got a lot to do, and bikes to ride,

and places to go, and beer to drink and women to ... well, you

know how it goes.

Hope you like what we have and get something from it. If not,

you'll just have to look elsewhere.
