    Well if that is so. If I am 60 now and need 8 wheels to stay up right. How many will I need at 100? I take it, I better start saving for more. Dam I was just starting to like 8 That means longer tracks.

      Rod, sounds like we have taken similar paths.... i started out when i was 9 or 10 on a tiger cub then migrated to an Ossa 350 my uncle had... i then went to have a Montessa 250 of my own..... spent many a happy sunday afternoon being hosed down in the yard cos i was to dirty to be let in the house.... and i agree none of the two wheelers float no matter how big a nobbly you put on

        I started with a Greeves Scottish, man what a bag of crap that was I flipped in a ditch on one trial and it took both me and the marshal to get it back right side up I was so knackered I couldn't start it after (that old Villiers 250 was hard to start)

        Where we used to practise we obviously had known sections and the Bultaco would do in third what the Greeves did in first

        A mate of mine had a Tigga and the Bultaco's, Ossa's (always liked them) and Montesa's (never liked them ) would wipe the floor with the British bikes

        I bought a Bultaco 350 a few years ago in order to recapture my youth, all I did was hurt myself. You don't bounce so well after 50 And I've noticed you don't bounce at all at 60
