[NutmegCarrera]

Not quite the same, but I used to (try to) ride a '65 BSA Thunderbolt back & forth to work.
Was a bit more of a PITA than it was worth. Cool ride, but walking around in a shirt & tie but stinking of gas, wasn't so great. (The Amal carbs needed to be "tickled" for starting, and that pisses gas all over your hand). In Wisconsin, the riding season also coincides with hot & humid.

So, I got over it.
