Am I the only one who has bothered to reply on the subject ? Why is so often we get a member like Charles and others who invite views on which could be another interesting subject find their effort disappear into the sunset!
I am personally getting a bit fed up with lots of the material of late especially with the subjects going on too long. Then tonight we have something which sounds promising its completely ignored for us all to enjoy. This attitude of by some of the membership choosing not to participate on something that does 'nt interest them spoils the whole idea of what the listing stands for!
To my views on the subject in hand and to say I 'm not quite sure what I would class as second tier here in the UK with the hundreds of marque's which have always been available over the years. The big and the small suppliers/manufacturers have always produced a very high class of machine so it makes it difficult to select a runner up.
I ,like many us , have our favourite bike the one we use most of the time and turn to another as second choice when need for a change. In my book I think I will stick to calling the little known , the obscure , the good and forgotten and rate them all as equals! They are all worth a mention I suppose!! Doug Smith North Dorset UK
