R&M are still going strong despite their unpopular opposition to the war. But, of course, you are an unbiased souce, right Thor? ;-)

It's one of those cult things, I guess. The Japanese and Germans worship them, everyone else hates them. (I'm neither, but think it's a fine bike.)

Seriously, I wish I had bought the bike from Thor instead. Then I probably would have put the effort in to adapt!
