Brough Superior SS100, liked 'em even before I was into bikes, just to cruise the main drag, and maybe wellington for a ride too

Honda Valkyrie F6C Tourer would be nice. Early one not the streamline type they have now.

We did look at all those bikes, why for?
this was when the headmaster build was cemented, "I" can build it for 1/4 of the price, it'll outlast them, it'll be brand new and the only electrickery will be the inject mapping, and a course in aeronautical velocity actuation of voltage won't be needed to work her (whoops him)
, him doesn't sound right does it, 
and headmistress sounds a bit mmmmmm

But yep,, thats how the big build came about
