About the time of my first motorcycling experience... sitting on the tank and holding onto the handlebars of my Grandfather's BSA Goldie!
Somewhere in the black and white motorcycling archive is a film of how to ( and how not to) ride a trials competition motorcycle, made by the AMC ( AJS & Matchless) factory at Plumstead London.... can anyone dig that out and post it up.??
