mrmetallica Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 i first started at about 16 when i was giving a Honda 50 .i used to rag around private roads.in 1974 i bought a sl125 trials bike,had that a few years and in 1981 i traded it in for a XS 250 Se Yamaha.after a few years i put a 400cc engine in.finally got rid of that.later i was bought a kz100 Kawasaki Se from America.what a beast.it caught light got money back on insurance .the sad thing is i spent the money on a Suzuki gs850 that had been badly chopped .i eventually sold that about 15 years ago .Ive just been given a xj900s divie 97 reg.im in the process of doing it up .

slice Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Going backwards it would be. FJ1200 XJ750 Midnight Maxim 750 SUZI CSF 400 X2 Honda dream 400T Suzi 250 barn find that was a piece of crap Triumph bonnerville 650 Hagan frame dragster 0 to 100 in about 3 seconds but refused to go round corners without lot's of swearing Honda 150, rode this one home from the hospital when the AJS tried to kill me AJS 250 CSR14 Francis barnett Villiers 200 First ever bike, I was 14 at the time. Plus I have had various other bikes over the years that were really forgetable, Oh yes I had for a day a NORTON Dominator that spat me off when the gearbox imploded, sold it for spares. Forgot the JAWA sidecar outfit - well you would wouldn't you !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Damn, I hate writing lists! So, in order of hazy memory Honda SS50 (learnt to ride on this. On reflection, taking some kind of instruction before going up the road might have been wiser) Puch M50 (paid £8 for it out of someone's garden. Didn't really work properly so used it in a field, painted it black and gold and sold it!) Honda C90 x 3 (different times, various states of repair, all ran, one with missing screen, brake, MOT, tax...) Honda 50 (clockwork, only worked on the straights or downhill) Honda CG125 (fab bike. 50 mile round trip commute every day. Only time it failed was when some git nicked my HT lead. Spent 45 minutes trying to start it before I realised!) Suzuki TS125 (Egyptian export model. Worked brilliantly, even after being straightened out with a hammer following an over-enthusiastic approach to a sharp bend) SV650 (my first big bike. Naked model, went on a European touring holiday two weeks after passing test. Spent 10 days developing huge neck muscles trying to keep up with all the faired bikes. My first experience of how to lose money when selling a bike) Honda VFR750 (painted RVF colours. Comfortable, smooth, fast. Found out it was a Category C write off when tried to trade it in! Second experience of losing money when selling a bike) Kawasaki ZZR600 (Hated it, most uncomfortable bike ever owned. Failed to notice there was no 5th gear when test riding. See above re: losing money) Honda Firestorm (Fast and fun. Rubbish brakes and worse fuel economy than a 747. See above re: losing money) Aprilia Falco (Superb bike. Fast, fun, fab brakes, comfortable for long distances. Lost some of the shiny bits following an incident with wet cobbles and sunken tramlines in Germany. See above re: losing money) Aprilia Falco (As above, kept the shiny bits intact but strangely, never quite as good as the first one. See above re: losing money) Yamaha TRX850 (bought as hack bike. Hated it, gave to my partner who loved it until it died a natural death) Forgot this one! Yamaha FZR400 (Only bike I've ever really tried to highside. Partner refused to take it as the clutch was so stiff. Also have it on good authority that it was so small, it looked like it was going to disappear up my flute! Can't remember now but probably lost money when sold) Suzuki GSXR750 SRAD (always wanted one so bought as next hack bike. Stupidly fast, dodgy electrics. Fixed all the probems and then sold it! See above re: losing money) Kawasaki ZX6R (hack bike. Was fun for a little while but got bored as kept running in to it's handling limits. See above re: losing money) Aprilia RSV1000 (Yay! Came with all the tweaks I'd beeing trying to get in to the Falco. Eventually got fed up with having to concentrate on staying on all the time! See above re: losing money) Yamaha XJ6S (this is where the YOC came in Eventually lost interest but my partner has it now and she loves it. No money lost!) Benelli TreK 899 (present bike. I am in love ) Got a feeling I might have missed a couple but I seem to be missing large chunks of teenage memory for some reason... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
