Bike I would be remembered for: -
My 1939 BSA M20 with the backfiring exhaust and no suspension. My 1966
BSA A65 Spitfire with sidecar in the early days.
Favourite :
BSA - I have had so many. Probably the M20 most of all.
Worst :
My short-lived Ducati ST2. No Charisma or personality. Fast, boring and
bland.
Royal Enfield 250 Clipper - overtaken by everything on George the Fifth
Ave. Hopeless!
Transport today -
My trusty M20, a plunger B31, my A65 which I have owned on and off since
the early days. I have bought it back twice!
Just lately I have bought a rigid long-stroking and thumping Panther
M100 which is as close I will ever want to be to owning a Harley!
My memories of the club
Arriving in Beesands on my BSA M20 after riding down from Cambridge. Very
satisfying.
Being towed off the M4 by Andy on his Ducati 750 at unreasonable speed
after seizing the A65 Combo on the way to Heston Services after the
Peggy 'B' had closed.
Bouncing off the hedges on both sides of the road on my BSA M20 a little
worse for wear, with Jamie hanging on for dear life on pillion.
Counting glow worms in the hedgerow.
Sharing Carrianne's 'special cakes' with Dave, Lizzie and Wayne.
Tearing down the Slapton straight at near 100mph on my A65 and being
passed by Andy on his Ducati at The Tower turn off.
