Rest assured anyone insured with Carole Nash, your premiums are being put to good use, they were serving champagne on their stand, [to all show goers], like it was going out of fashion!

Well done to everyone concerned with bringing another British name back. The quality of the bike looks superb and I think they are doing the right thing in pitching it at the top end of the market instead of taking on the japs. The Triumphs on the nearby stand looked rubbish in comparison even if they are a lot cheaper.
And it looks like a motorbike should unlike some of the big stuff on the Kawasaki stand. :hon
