It all started in the mid 1970's when a friend managed to get hold of a total POS Cossack. It was an absolute hunk o' junk that thing but we loved it. Being a fine example of 1960's Soviet Union technology it was more of an introduction to motorcycle repair as it was an introduction to motorcycling. Pretty simple really, if we wanted to keep tearing around the empty fields of Portsdown Hill then we (turned out to be mainly me) were going to have to learn to "turn a wrench" The rest ,as they say, is history.
