I past my test at 16 and got a 500 Suzuki guess I was one of the lucky ones to survive those early years ridding, went to a few funerals of mates that didn't make it to be 18.
That's a tough one Steve, fortunately I did not see any of my biker buddies in a coffin, well not through biking.
I ended up in hospital a few times with nothing more serious than a squashed hand a couple of broken fingers and an ankle bone that had to be built up after I had filed it away being dragged about 40 yards under a old BSA, foccing thing weighed a ton with its thick steel mudguards and steel nacelle type headlight unit.
What a piece of shit that bike was in nasty brown/maroon colour.
Ooooppps a bit off topic
