Was reading the thread about panther bike parts below, and did a quick google about what a "panther" was.
I was also watching the top gear "vietnam" special where Hamster is riding a "Minsk" - which I gather is a russian military bike.
Then I glanced over at my "worlds fastest indian" DVD
Any way, long story short, I'm considering buying a motorbike
regardless of the fact I haven't been on one since I had a Honda 50 field bike when I was 10.
but...
I have a liking for 40s/50s style bikes - such as a 1959 Panther
or a 1937 Norton
or even a 125cc Minsk
or an Indian:
but...
I want something cheap (sub 1K) and easy to fix, and reliable...
Doesn't have to be fast, or powerful - basically to carry me, alone, into the wilds (not off-road, but maybe farm access lanes) with some camping gear.
and in that sort of "retro" vintage style.
Oh, and if I didn't kill myself going round corners, it'd be a bonus.
Any recommendations?
