    Thanks for the reminder of the one note song in another thread Hilly. It's a rainy day here so I'm ignoring all the stuff I should be doing, just kicking around. After Hilly's reminder, here's a twofer, both about the days we all went through, young, horny, piss ignorant, getting by on bravado and bullshit.
    The funny and sad thing about those days for me was that I was riding around on a BSA 250, trying to feel cool.

    No wuckas Steve, I think starting on a BSA 250 is way cooler than a Honda 90 step through(that refused to die) which is the first bike I actually owned myself lol.

    Dunno about that. That pretty unbiased source Wikipedia says about the C15:
    "The bike proved to need careful maintenance, being prone to oil leaks, electrical faults, gearbox problems, valve-gear failures, a weak bigend and clutch adjustment problems."
    Just right to inflict on a baby biker eh? 
    They didn't mention the weak main bearings.
    My mates enjoyed riding their Honda 250s, I got acquainted with dirty oil on my boots, grease, the smell of burning wire insulation, and pushing a dead bike along the road. Trust me, I would have swapped it for a running Honda 90.
