Hi all...First bike I ever rode was a ex WD. BSA M20 It belonged to me elder brother I was about 14 years old then. at 15 it was a James laughingly named Sports Captain . Moving on to a Triumph Cub C. a cracking little bike, on it I could thrash my mates Norton jubilee . Had a lovely little green 50's Bantam sold it on quick Then BSA M21with box sidecar both of these m/c's brought for a fiver each just did it up to sell it Then paid £20 for a Triumph 500 with an ally engine went full on café racer fitted twin carbs the lot . Then a plunger BSA. A7 that got chopped ,sold that and the Cub and brought a very low mileage Mk11 BSA.Spitfire . At this time another mate wanted me to buy his 1923 bored out 1320 BSA J12 I was not interested but in the end 3 pounds changed hands and it was reluctantly mine ! it had a total loss oiling system fed at the cylinders and out through the sump . One day coming home from work, on the Spitfire I noticed that the J12 was missing . on enquiring, my mother said 'I was fed up with the oil mess on the path and I have sold it. ,I asked, how much did you sell it for, she replied Three pounds !!!! They were great times all in all notwithstanding. I have never been without a Bike. Only ever ridden one Japanese bike for about 5 min. In the stable now I have a hopped 58 BSA. A10 and a 55. BB33 repatriated from America Also a 1340 1984 H/D Wide Glide . and my beloved 1956 T110 that started life as a Triton before a shed fire in the 80.s ( don't ask). I do not ride as much these days as the roads and traffic are dire in these parts but I still love spannering and keep em' all in good fettle .............R.
Welcome!
