My girlfriend ( now wife) and I spent a summer in Cornwall 1974, living in a tiny ridge tent near Padstow making silver rings in the evenings and riding to Newquay on my Bantam to sell them on the beach. Admittedly it was a a 150 but it never let us down over four months with minimal servicing. It had the luxury of a swinging arm and dual seat, a definite step up from my old rigid frame model.
Eeh, in them thar days you could take a motorcycle in the guard’s van on BR trains and with a student rail card the return fare was about £11.00 from Birmingham New Street. The bike was half-fare at £5.50. Happy days?
