This is a joke, right? Sarcasm is very difficult in print you have to give me a clue that your not joking.


I most certainly am not joking;  Many of us older motorcyclists feel quite strongly about the term, associating it with a certain variety of two wheel user, often the more anti social types, [but don't get sucked into the argument biker  v. motorcyclist  row here]

It was not a term used in the era you are using.

A girl  [or a bloke] used to a Bantam would certainly be in deep merde in the circumstances you describe, If you are trying to get across some early, or learner  ability on the part of the girl, I suggest you look at the idea of her previous experience being on a small 250 such as a BSA C12, which was  a big little bike; staring procedure would be much the same except for  the valve lifter control  which a lot of newcomers to big single machines still have trouble using,its quite a knack.

You may need to cough up more info  re the Bantam years of this girl.

whats so scary about facists? [joke alert]

[ For what its worth I am also an author]

They couldn't start the Vinnie so they nicked his push-bike instead... ;)
