Puffin4 Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 1927 New Imperial 200cc with tank mounted gear change and hand pumped oil, in 1955. Actually, my true first bike was a sit up and beg ralleigh fitted with a minimotor. it was 50cc and did 180 miles per gallon although the tank capacity was only a half gallon. it cost me £5 and the tax was 17/6 and insurance was 12/6. I went to school on it for the best part of a year before moving up to the New Imperial. Mike Have just noticed that I have already posted on this. Put it down to old age!!

hillsbro Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It was an LE Velocette, 1952 Mark 2 ex-police, YWB 604 bought for £10 in 1967. Flat twin, hand start, hand change, water-cooled, shaft drive - somewhat unconventional. Not very fast but reliable enough for about 4,000 miles until one night when a big end went on West Bar. It got me home on the other cylinder, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
