<<<BTW how many Interceptors have you owned ? Worked on ?>>>
OK, Gary, I'm not going to have a pissing contest with you. I am stating my opinion, you are entitled to yours.
I, too, love old British iron, and have owned and worked on some, only BSA, Ariel and Norton. I almost bought an Interceptor in 1970, and I did like riding it, but careful examination showed it to be typically British, not tremendously improved over the 1940 BSA I owned, and the bike needed work that I could not do, being in the Navy at the time.
The only reason I don't have an Indian Enfield is because I can't afford one at the moment, and have three Guzzi's.
British bikes survive mostly on nostalgia, not perfection.
