THE MARYLEBONE CRICKET CLUB TIE AND THE FATHER TIME - LORD'S TIE "Chez Moi"
THE MARYLEBONE CRICKET CLUB ( MCC )

Parece que o o "Marylebone Cricket Club" ( MCC ) foi fundado, apesar daquilo que a placa indica, já em 1787 (!) ... isto sabe-se de um poster de 1837 que anunciava o jubileu de ouro do clube ...Mas a Aristocracia dedicava-se ao jogo de Cricket, que no Séc. XVIII era considerado um desporto de elites e privilégio exclusivo das "Upper Classes" tal como a caça à raposa, num local chamado de "White Conduit Fields" em Islington, Londres.
Mas, à medida que a população foi crescendo, os aristocratas cansados das multidões que se reuniam espontâneamente para assistir aos jogos, resolveram pedir a Thomas Lord para fundar um Clube privado afim de garantir a exclusividade da assistência e participantes ... assim nasceu o MCC ligado ao Lord's ... embora o Clube tenha mudado de lugar várias vezes, e as suas reconhecíveis e famosas cores só tenham sido desenvolvidas durante a época Victoriana, ele hoje em dia constitui um mito ...

Suzuki SV650S returns
After a brief absence, the SV650S is returning to Suzuki GB’s line-up. Priced at £4,999 on the road, it seems rather a bargain - so much so that maybe Suzuki has shot itself in the foot.
That’s because spending an extra £725 on an SV650 Sport, which is the same bike except for its pillion seat cover and fairing lowers, just got much harder to justify. The S even manages to be cheaper than the similarly-engined naked Gladius, which costs £5,274 OTR.
Of course list price and actual price are two very different things. For example, there’s currently a Scottish dealer offering the Sport at £4,595, but that could be an indication that Suzuki dealers are very willing to haggle right now.
The all-rounder middleweight / ‘first big bike’ market is very crowded, with well-established models such as the Kawasaki ER-6f, Yamaha XJ6 and Honda CBF600, as well as less obvious choices such as the Ducati Monster 696 or Aprilia Shiver 750. Nevertheless, the SV650S should be able to poach sales from its competitors on price alone.
The one thing the SV650S doesn’t offer is a colour choice. It’s only available in white, with a blue racing stripe through the middle of the fairing that is carried across along the top of the tank.
