It’s never been everyone’s cup of tea, even in the bike community, but I’ve loved these from the first time I saw one.
I remember being out with my dad on his Honda 200 Benley (very dull slow bike) when 4 or 5 big sports bikes blasted past us like we were standing still. I couldn’t tell you what the others were but this stood out even at the speed.
I’ve owned 3 over the years, 1 standard and the other 2 modified within an inch of their life with more modern engines, running gear etc. but never changing the basic look.
this might be a bit odd, but this range of shelves and cupboards from Vitsoe is something every home should have - we have a fair bit. designed in 1959 by Dieter Rams, it’s a classic design range of versatile mid-20thC furniture. is still being made to the orginal design in the UK. bloody love it!
I have to say that Habitat under Conran have produced some excellent long lasting designs and products when they were in their prime. we have some units (Tribeca I think) on the living room, and our every day stainless steel pots and pans came from there about 40 years ago!
