One of my friends passed his bike test but soon stopped riding on the road. He became British 250 champion some years later.

Hi , Neville

Regards motorbikes its my Grandfathers fault , he had a farm on Goss Moor
with cars and motorbikes in one barn , let us kids ride them around the fields , so preffered bikes .

As regards BSA , when i bought it my DAD was not happy , said i would be better putting it in a bank saving .
Had to explain to him the logic , i payed cash while my mates on lower wages had
to get theirs on Hire Purchase paying a lot of interest , plus paying years .

Take care .

Tony
