It was more a case of Brit bikes in my youthful days.
200cc Triumph tiger cub mixed in with a really big bike, a 250cc Matchless, or dabbling with a 250cc C15 BSA or the 2 stroke Beezer Bantam which always seemed to be (I got my hands on a few of them) blowing the gasket between the two halves of the crank case.
In those days, it wasn't necessary to get a licence - I rode for years on a provisional (learner) licence.
Later, my life turned toward Honda with the 400/4 inline 4 cyl.
In those days, every machine was an "adventure" bike.
