Next would be a Velocette MSS. Superb handling. Not fussy. Fast enough, though not really fast. Sort of a real symphonie of parts, made in a small factory, designed by two brothers who owned Veloce Limited. Everything about it contributed to the whole. I had a chance to buy one for short money, but I was tap city at the time. Next, a Bultaco Matador - and I don't even like two-strokes. Another machine made in a small factory in which all the parts all together made a superb whole. Oh yes, a 500cc Cotton. Just because they were so uniquilley beautiful, AND it had a fire breathing J.A.P engine. Light. Superb handling. Lycette saddle. Girder forks. Made in small numbers from 1929 to 1948. Really doesn't look like I missed out on much, does it.
