Lambreta200 I had a part share with friends when I was 15, it wasn’t road
legal and we used to ride it on school fields and waste ground. I also remember
hand painting in gloss magnolia; still we had no love for it but it was fun and
eventually scraped it, lol.
My first road bike was
a Puch Maxi that my Dad gave me; I had to pedal like mad to start the thing. My first proper bike
was a Honda CB125 Twin. I can remember going 2 up with camping equipment to
Birmingham NEC bike show on it one year, ah to be young again.
