Sammyt80 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 http://s1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc478/Sammyt80/?action=view¤t=newbike005.jpg http://s1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc478/Sammyt80/?action=view¤t=newbike004.jpg This is My Yamaha T80 1992, bought off ebay for £550 with 7500 miles, had to ride 50 - 60 miles home on her which was the most scary time of my life and getting use to the gears and brakes :-/. Cost only £4.50 to fill up and will do around 90 - 100 miles on one tank. She is called Elle due to Elephant grey paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted July 28, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2011 Reminds me of the dark ages when me and my mates were 16 all dicking around on DT's Ts's FS1e etc with big bores and whatnot thinking were the bee's wotsits. Rob bought a C50 (same thing pretty much but h#nda) Oh how we all mocked........ Till he chucked all the grandad plastics and stuffed a 90motor in it, wasn't so funny then when we got humbled by a naked chicken...... The fact that Rob possesed the self preservation of a HariKar Hairi Kar japaneese suicide pilot didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkwindjammer Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 My first ever 'hurl' on a bike was on the little Honda, my uncle Rob had one, that bike did 283mph well as a 9yr old it felt like that, the helmet I had on was so big I could hold onto the inside of the chin bar with both hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
