One of these was my first motorcycle,my pride and joy,couldn't stop looking out of the window at it for quite a few weeks.Bought for the princely sum of £360 on credit naturally...about the same as a decent helmet these days. It was a nice comfy bike,350cc very frugal with a large tank of petrol that would take me from London to Devon without stopping but if I did it at nighttime which I often did, the lights would get dimmer and dimmer and the last few miles across Dartmoor would be in total darkness. It later met its end on a traffic island where I went to avoid a little old lady who thought the best way to cross the road was to run.
