Memory From:
Mick, UK, My early Motorbikes
All I have seen on this site is peoples memories of cars doesn't anybody remember the old motorbikes
I started of with an NSU Quickly ( I should never admit that ) back in 1967,
From there went to a James 125
then an old Ariel ( cant remember the model but it used more oil than petrol )
Then an old BSA Bantam
And my favourite was Honda 250 Dream which just was awesome compared with anything else, we used to do 12 miles timetrials from Berts Cafe in Portchester to Cosham roundabout and back and it was unbeatable ( needless to say one day I pushed it to far and wrecked the bike and that was the end of my biking days for a few years
OH I DO MISS THOSE DAYS OF NO FEAR
The bike you must be talking about was an Ariel Leader they were renowned for leaving a puddle of oil on the ground when they were parked
