Lovely old 350cc bike this. In the 60s I used it for newsreel dispatch riding in winter weather instead of my Venom because of its light weight and low centre of gravity
I once hit a frozen flood early one morning caused by a broken water main and the bike spun while remaining upright and traveled down the street backwards a fair way before it went and I fell off.As I slid along the street on my back a lady salting her doorstep actually bid me good morning as I passed........Happy days

  1. What a pity there wasn't a bloke with a video camera on hand.

    Sounds like fun!
