Much the same,just heavier kit,old AJS 350 single,couple of stripped down Tiger Cubs,C15 BSA..First road bike..Triumph 350 cafe racer,built from 3 tea chests of parts(14th birthday present),traded non Triumph bits for parts to complete the jigsaw...was far quicker than local Plod's LE Velocette or Honda..

Haven't been that adventurous

Owned 5 bikes in 40yrs.
Yamaha YB100 - crashed and trashed in first year.
Yamaha RD125DX - loved this bike. Great for batting round town and didn't bother to upgrade for 15yrs.
