Re: [ST] Old bikes



My first bike was .... in a box

Its all I could afford. A 1963 BSA C15 250 or thats what the engine and 
frame were.
The seat was off a suzuki 90
Mudguards were from an Ariel
Forks were off a CB77 honda I believe
Headlight was off triumph something

It vibrated everything loose..


I had to carry a bag to hold all the bits that fell off. I always carried a 
tool kit to carry out roadside repairs!

It leaked oil, it had no 3rd gear and no power either..

The forks were loose in the yoke and added to that the right hand gear 
change and non-existent brakes made this machine a real challenge to ride.

I could probably write a book on that piece of scrap - it did get me around 
though.
