HALL OF SHAME

************WARNING**************

Cosmo appeared on Sky Televisions & Men and Motors programme ‘Top Dog’ on the expert panel with well known names such as Sammy Miller. The programme featured classic motorcycles of the past decades.

Members of the public brought in their vehicles to the show and argued why theirs was best, before the expert panel made the ultimate decision as to which was Top Dog.

The series will be repeated.

Did we say we LOVE Tritons? We love them a lot.

We also LOVE Italian stallions, we have recently sold an orange Slater Laverda Jota 180, a Ducati 750 GT, a stunning Ducati 750 Sport, 900SS, a Mike Hailwood Replica AND an NCR 900. We always want more!

Do you want to have true Six Appeal……………We have just got an original Benelli Sei 900, the good looking superbike six. The sound, the sound, the sound!!! it’s just fantastico. I’m going all wobbly just thinking about it!!! I’d better go off and tinker with a C15 or something to calm down.
