    I forever love vintage bikes. This is such a masterpiece of a bike and man I hope the new owner will really do it justice. I myself own a 1967 Jawa and an 1980s Yezdi. Would love to see one of those on this channel. You guys are absolutely great people with a lot of passion for bikes from the past!

    I had one on the road in the 60s had a piece of straight pipe for an exhaust with a hollowed out silencer over it LOL. used to have to try and run it on tickover past any old bill. Going round Oxford I stalled it behind a car doing about 30 and the primary chain broke and chain flew of into a field. This was the end of it took the lump out, went to Vale Onslow in Birmingham and swapped it for a Triumph engine and plates. When your 17 its just an old bike not a classic. Plus it had no way of charging, you had to keep charging a battery to use it at night. It had in International gearbox on so you could kick it over to start it (if you were lucky) mostly I used to try and park it at the top of a hill.
