Whats the crappest bike you've ever owned and why?

Same thing happened to me some years back with a Suzuki Vitara in Tesco's carpark. Opened the door and thought, "That's funny I don't have a kids seat?". :o Don't have any kids either! Quietly closed the door and locked it again. Our car was a couple of spots away. ::)

My dad had a Morris 1000 traveller when I was 16. We used to joyride in it when he was on night shifts after discovering that my FS1E key fitted the door and the ignition. Bad boys.

I passed my test in my Mum's Escort Mk1. On Saturday's, it was my job to go the the chippy go get the family pies and chips. It was only when I returned that I noticed I had driven back a similar Escort but not the same one. I took it back but there was no parking space so I had go leave it a couple of streets away.

Apparently in the 1970s at Newport Pagnell one of the Aston Martin apprentices used to do the Friday chip run in one of these.

My first car was a 65 Ford Anglia 1200 (3 bearing 'Rubber' crank) - piston went on the M5 on my way to Swindon. Drove 50 miles with a cloud of smoke behind me. Next day, went to scrap yard in Swindon, got a piston, undone engine mounts, jacked engine up and got conrod and piston out from underneath (to save buying a head gasket) - all on my back in the snow! Happy days! Couldn't complain, only cost me 75 squid. It kept going until underneath got so bad it wasn't worth continuing welding it up. Saved me using Z1 in winter when I worked away.
