Buyers Guide Garelli Tiger Cross published Feb 2014
It’s 1972 and the tin roof of the school bike shed is reverberating to a new vibe. The sixteener law has killed the elderly Brit and slightly shabby Jap 250s acquired via countless cold ‘n’ wet paper rounds in favour of mopeds. Naively HMG believes this new antiyouth dictat will condemn kids to an asthmatic, rusty revolting Raleigh or a perambulating Puch.
However, the motorcycle importers are a lot more market savvy than they used to be. The teenagers now have ready access to HP or parental disposable income. What’s more they want transport with style and there’s a legion of manufacturers out their ready to oblige them in their aspirations. With one more deft twist of the wrist Spoilt Brat fills the bike shed with a cloud of cheap two stroke and heads off to the sixth form block for registration and double Eng. Lit. The lesser mortals of the secondary modern still gaze in disbelief and unabashed envy at the coolest fifty they’ve ever seen. With ears ringing and eyes smarting they too shuffle off dreaming of the day they’ll have a bike.
