Growing up in the 1980s meant that the lasting
image of a motorcycle for me was a cruiser of
some sort. It’s not that I was a ‘cruiser guy’, it’s
just that when you see lots of something, that becomes the main frame of reference, and desire
in this case! Evolving from a diet of bicycles into
my late teens, I was quite mesmerised by the
idea of a quintessential American style cruiser –
and the first one that I actually saw in the flesh
and instantly fell in love with was the Royal
Enfield Citybike.
