Christo, you don't know what you missed 
If you ever get the chance to ride one o' them ol' strokers, jump at it; just remember, they don't handle, have crap brakes and go like stink!
When the LCs first came out, I wasn't quite old enough to have them. But I remember I used to cycle around the country lanes around Epping, and coming around a bend to be confronted with packs of the things haring towards me, clouds of blue smoke trailing in their wake. You could have the 250 on L plates, and there was a proper crazy-gang mentality to it all. And the police weren't quite so hot on speeding then; no cameras, no radar traps; oh yes, you don't know what you missed! :b
When I worked at Waltham Cross m/cs back in about 2006/7, ol' Locky dug a GT550 out of one of his lock-ups to get running and sell. When Andy took it out for it's first ride, there was so much smoke, you could literally not see from one kerbside to the opposite one :lol
