Default Harleys or Great British Classics?

Took these shots at the weekend I loved the reflections on the tanks. I just love British classic bikes I was brought up with them as a kid, to me they are not just a bike they are a works of art.

Norton

My father used to own a Norton. Very nice pictures of the bike and indeed interresting reflections.

Hello Tryfan... these are awesome shots... where you take them ??? Love the Norton, but yea.. nothing better and more photogenic then a Harley I think. I will have to have another look at the ones I took last year at our local motorbike show in Llangollen. Got some awesome shots there. xx

I'd take a Vincent over a Harley any day.

Love the shots of the Norton, I'm a sucker for pictures of fiddly mechanical things so they work a treat.

What a nice collection of motorcycles. I like that 30's bike.....need to invite windrider along to one of these shows.....she probably wouldn't return home after cruising through the UK countryside on one of these while tagging her camera along!
