LIFE AND RIDES OF A BIKER

When i started my biking life there wasnt many foriegn bikes on the market, they were mostly english, triumph,norton,b.s.a. james, arials matchless , e.t.c. each one had differen characters, my mate adrian had a 125 james,(similar to the b.s.a. bantam and it was a pig to start, we didnt have starter motors on in those days just a good old fashioned kick start, but odd times it didnt do the trick so bump starting was the only alternative kept fit in those days with out the gym.
one wet morning after a bit of shopping in the local town, i saw my mate trying to bump his james off, Adrian was puffing and blowing with his wet gear e.t.c. on so i shouted do you need a push bud, no he snapped back i can manage im not useless you know so off i went, as there was reasoning with him when he was like  this, anyway i hadnt got 10 yards away when there was this almighty smash,and a sound of broken glass, iwent back to see adrian half in and half out of a car showroom window, he said he took an almighty run and bounced on the seat the engine fired into life, caught him unawares he lost controll and ended up in the showroom inches away from a brand new skoda.
Now fortunate for him the manager was a very good friend of Adrians dad and it all got sorted out with any hassle.
Many jokes followed after that, (is it right you have started dancing with your bike? what was it the glass walz)
and are coming with us today ade we will have a smashing time !!!
next time i start my disasembly of a 500 single matchless.
