bq. “GRIGG - THE HALLMARK OF EXCELLENCE IN ENGINEERING!”
British motorcyclists are a sentimental bunch. They can get just as excited by a list of British motorcycle ‘marques’ as doing the ton up the Kingston by-pass on the back of a 1959 650cc Bonneville Twin and who can blame them? It is an illustrious catalogue - B.S.A, Triumph, Arial, Norton, Vincent, Matchless, Royal Enfield and so on. But there is one name missing from that roll of honour…

Me No See RWC Legacy
I’ve heard most of the arguments about the Rugby World Cup being good for the local economy - and I suppose, like most people, I am ready and prepared to put up with the inconvenience - the traffic diversions, the closed streets, the hoards of fans, the ‘porta-potty’ toilets, the crowded trains, the litter and the noise into the early hours of the morning. This the price of living next door to Twickenham Stadium at the time of the Rugby World Cup. I accept this. What I cannot accept is the apparent lack of any recognition, recompense or legacy for the thousands of people who will have to put up with it.
