Doing the shimmy again
WHEN I FIRST STARTED PLAYING about with ‘older’ bikes, one of the arguments often given in their favour was that they were easier to work on and maintain. I soon learned this was not always true after my first Commando. The more modern, mostly Jap, bikes often needed less maintenance and certainly got exactly that, especially the budget bikes my mates and I tended to run.
