And people say I'm mad

Quite nice, though I'm not a crusier fan m'self. Don't let Mr Scumdog see this, he'll never recover from the fit of jealousy

Spent a while drooling over the beautifully restored Indian in the new Motomail store!
Very nice restoration!

Enormous pendulious church bell sized ones! Have you ever tried riding anything like that? I rode an Old BSA bantam once and I supose once your used to it it'd be fine but my god was it challenging.

francis barnett has to hardest bike to ride (real early one)
but if its kickbacks your after montessa 390
(spat a mate of mine into the upper level of the garage
have not had such a good laugh in a long time)

My kind of bike - red, stylish and the tool kit for an overhaul fits in spectacle case!!

I learnt to ride on a Bantam and I loved it! It was my Mother's and if I ever get a chance, I'll buy her another one! Though at 73, now, she may want me to look after it for her... She'd still want to go for a ride on it though!

Love the old Indian, may not be the world's fastest, but with a few tweaks...

The 650 bisa's took a fit of oomph. If I recall some bikes had a decompresion valve, think that's what it was called. It allowed you to adjust the piston position so that you could get the most 'kick' into the piston stroke with out the ignition causing kickback.

Incedently as an aside there was many a broken thumb, wrist etc with the old crank start vehicles.
