"I NEVER
cease to be amazed at what is considered "good value" in motor
cycling. The latest offering of the toy like NVT Yam trail bike (above), at a
mere £625, inspired me to tot up the "good value" of my 14 years
riding. In this time I have owned a humble Ariel Colt, two Velocette Venoms,
two MACS, a Valiant, a Thruxton and a Mk 8 KTT, Rudge Special, Vincent Comet,
Triton, OCC V4 Silver Hawk, 125 Suzuki and two MZS.
None were
new, most were good and the total outlay over the years has been just £2,060. However,
I have got back £2,500 on them, leaving me with a very nice 250 MZ paid for by
the last Venom."
