My 1st BSA was an A10 when I was about 12. Still got the scars from getting thrown over it when it kicked back when I tried to start it. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I had a C15 which was stripped of most of its bodywork, ragged it around a field near where I lived, I spent more time on the deck as the tyres were not exactly designed for off road use... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to your teenage years.....all you did was go to work, get dosh, and go out and have fun. So you failed to keep your dick in your pants when you were young and now your complaining about it go figure Personally my life is less complicated now than back in my teens but i would still like to go back mainly because i was young and fit not like the piece of creaking old furniture i am now lol 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been with my wife from the age of 19 something I’m very proud of and no she wasn’t my first girlfriend just lucky to find the right one when I was young. We haven’t lived in each other’s pockets and still have separate circles of friends and our own interests in life. I couldn’t ask for any more in life really 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
