French kiss at a family reunion can ruin things.
Not always though… eh!!! 
Norton Dominator 99, owned c1970. Blew head gasket twice, clutch unscrewed itself from shaft on M4 (had to tighten it up again on the hard shoulder), and ran a big end bearing at 90mph on the A1 (had to return home by train, with Dommie in guard’s van). I’m not saying that all Dommies were bad, but mine was certainly the most unreliable bike I have owned.

My mate had one when I was still riding around on my GP100. I was so jealous and in hindsight, so misguided.

My art teacher had one so as i thought he was a funky guy and down with the kids, i bought one…
However, he also had arm/elbow patches on his blazer so i deserve what i put myself through. But, looking back, I should have known as all of the clues were there!
My art teacher had a Puch grand prix in JPS colours, she was cool as a penguins pecker, also smoked joints on school trips
