When I was in my teens and early 20s a motorcycle was my only transportation. I rode every day of the year no matter the weather.
I pretty much want one of each of those bikes!
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Yes, I wonder how meny of the actual bikes are still on the road. You can check UK registrations to see if the machine still exists, must look up a few.

Thanks Stephen... those videos were great. I remember back in my youth, two brothers who would ride their motorcycle with sidecar all year long. They were often seen riding in extreme snowy conditions yet somehow managed to keep moving. Nowadays that would be illegal and riders trying such things would be sent away for psychiatric evaluation.
Live to love, love to live.

I like the starting instruction video, I have bikes that have to be started that way but I could just see the look on a kids face if you tell him to just press the tickler.

Now I understand where HD riders got the idea for the half helmet. "If it was good enough for those blokes.............." Great find
