Just inside the North Circular on the A1 into London. It was 9am on a cold Wednesday 20th December 1995. I was waiting at the road side for the RAC to arrive to transport me and my MuZ 251 Saxon Tour to Burwin Motorcycles. Not for the first time something had gone wrong with the motorcycle I purchased new on 23rd April 1994. This time the main fuse kept burning out for no obvious reason. But then, with electrics things are rarely obvious. While I waited, I began to wonder again why I had bought this motorbike instead of something else, i.e. something Japanese. Making a short story long....it was in the later part of 1993, due to market conditions I was having to travel to London to work instead of Luton, my home town. For eleven years I had used a motorbike to get to work, mainly my lifetime friend a 1979 Honda CD200T Benly. When I started working in the City of London though, I started commuting by train. With this came the phenomenal expense £2,300 p.a. then and aggravation. When it was announced that there were to be a series of train strikes, I looked to the Benly once again to get me to work. Despite having sat in the garage for over a year I got it through its MOT first time
