We took a family trip to the MCN Festival of Motorcycling yesterday - first time the little man has been to such an event, and he loved it!
Although we went in the car, I threw my riding gear in the back, and managed to grab a test ride on a CCM Maverick…..
For those not in the know, CCM are a small British company, started in the 70s, primarily with off road bikes, but who now make funky looking customs like this. It’s a 600 single (Husqvarna/BMW unit), about 60-odd bhp, and 135kg. Boy, it shifts!! And the sound it makes….…
I’ve got some thinking to do……
. What great half-hour ride it was, though……
Also had a sit on the new Enfield Scram 411. Very comfortable, nice looking bike, but 20-odd bhp…..no thanks.
Whilst Jack enjoyed sitting on the Enfield, he tells me he much preferred the £25k CCM Special Edition ‘Heritage 71’ (made with super-light titanium, and down to about 115kg!!!!!)
Well, he would, wouldn’t he…..(I’m stood behind, laughing……)
