First bike I ever rode was a 125cc Bantam, second a Francis Barnett. My first road bike was a 175cc James Captain with of course Villiers engine. I even had a car with 2 stroke Villiers engine. Yes! A Bond- Mini. It was kick start too!

Oh man I had a serious flashback when I saw this photo:

I had more fun on my Cota 247 than any of the other 43 bikes I've owned so far in my life! The thing was literally bombproof. I had a TL125 Honda at the same time and it was OK, but nowhere near the dedicated trials bike the Montesa was. I wish I had both of them back...

I must admit I have never heard of some of these brands... I guess I lost focus as college, jobs, kids, and divorces started occupying more of my attention and using up more of my money.
