MY first bike was a 56 AJS 500 single. Every time you kicked it itbruised your knee. The only way to ride it was to have somebody tow you and then it would bump start. The coil would short out and overheat. Lucas electronics.
My next bike was a 350 four. Night and day. Funny how UJMs became so popular. I bought the AJS in 1969, I bought the 350 four in 1972. I rode the snot out of the honda. The AJS was a rediculous unstart5able piece of crap. A buddy, who let me ride his Triumph, which turned me on to bikes, had good things to say about AJS bikes which is why I bought my bike. I' m a UJM guy over character bikes like the AJS.
