Flaxton: much as I enjoyed the cheapness of scootering on the LD 150 (bought for a tenner), it was only a means to an end. The day after I passed my test on the scooter I sold it! The next day I bought a 1959 Triumph 650 (for £60) and went 100+mph for the first time in my life! (and helmets not then mandatory!)
Thrashed the Triumph for three years then sold it in 1971 for £30. Probably worth about £6k now!
Brilliant: its not all Performance Class 1/Cat A
