Here's the link to Richard's FULL LENGTH and unedited 28 minute interview over on our SECOND CHANNEL. We produced this video for those of you who wanted more details on Richard's builds: • Full length & unedited...

@@sippyface4888 It’s broadly true, an unfortunate consequence of having an empire and the captive market that went with it. Products with a guaranteed customer didn’t have to be of the highest quality and when the guaranteed customers had gone and found better elsewhere it was the beginning of the end. Sadly us average Anglo Saxons were not the architects of this imperial misadventure, as we were conquered in 1066 and just subjects thereafter. When slinging gangster ruling class accusations at the Russians it should also be remembered who still holds what material riches in this country and how they were obtained.

Pat on the back great job ❤ very cool bike. Here in NZ a freind has a cammy AJS and rides it on the street. Private builders are great to see. Here in Christchurch we had BEARS racing the base of where John Britten and his talented team of helpers grew from. We have had guys building engines from very early times. Fascinating storys behind these builders. I was part of team Harley & we built the BLACKADDER McKintosh Harley. Buiding and customising bikes is a real love affair.
