No idea, but I reckon this would have been more suitable (3.44 mb):

A simple Google of the lyrics provides the answer of:- Snow Patrol -
Shut Your Eyes from the album Eyes Open HTH.

That's all in Mooragh park by the prom in Ramsey, IOM.

>Great bikes!

Mebbe.  Very shiny, but mostly too old and rattly to elicit any
interest from me.

Just look at those Italian bikes - what did we have at the time? C15?
James? Tiger Cub? BSA Bantam?

I don't know, as I either wasn't around, or more interested in the
effect lollysticks made when wedged in the wheels of bicycle.

But, had there been some multi-cylindered Italian exotica, I might
have been interested.  But they're still just singles and twins,
aren't they.

This is a troll, right?

What do we have these days? Bikes of avoirdupois having cylinders,
fairings, exhausts, luggage, mirrors, all sticking out out all over
the shop, trying to take up as much road as possible. Those 'singles
and twins' are slim, light, beautifully designed. The Honda twin pays
tribute to this.

No really, it isn't

Apart from BMW G/S and Goldwings, I can't think of any bikes that fit
that description.

<shrug>

Generally, people feel affection for the machines of their youth.  So,
for me, that's the bikes of the 70s and 80s.  The multi-cylinder race
bikes of the 60s were amazing things, but most of the stuff in those
photos just looks like ancient slow vintage stuff to me.
