My firs tmotorised vehicle was a 1958 Vespa 150 Clubman. Living at home at 17, Momma said "No Motorcycles". I rode that POS for,18 months, then switched to an even bigger POS 1938 Ausin 7 car. 750 cc L-head engine developing 20 hp on a good day.
I finally upgraded to a 250cc Ariel Leader, which kinda looked like a scooter, so Mum was satisfied. I then graduated to a BSA A7. Marriage loomed up and we went over to cars. Finally went to work at N-V and got to ride Commandos for a lkiving.
