Good Evening…A few pics of my bikes!

Hi to all…

I’m tony and I have a motorbike. Admitting to the problem is half the cure says the wife…I’m a motorcyclist not a chuffing alcoholic I keep telling her. Well now she’s locked in the shed she’s no problem…

Anyhow I’ve loved bikes since the early 80’s and bought my first in 81 a little Honda H100 (pics below) had it for just over a year then bought a new Suzuki GS550e. Was a little naughty in those days and rode it before passing my test for a couple of months. took it to France in 83. It rained like hell from Sutton Coldfield all the way through to Chataeuroux. It finally stopped, I looked up only to see a beautiful blue sky…Looked back down only to see a Peugeot 505 stopped at traffic lights. you can probably guess the rest of the story.

After repairing my GS (new wheel and straightning of forks etc etc) I sold it and bought a new Honda CB900F1 midnight on August the 1st 1984. Loved it to bits and had run it in by 6 that morning. Some bugger nicked it in May the nest year and didn’t ride again till March 2008 when i sold my car and bought a 1988 Kawasaki GPX600R. It was in mint condition with only 13k on the clock. I ride it all year round and now has 25k on the clock but still looks brand new. I’ve replaced the chain and sprockets and head bearings over the last couple of months and all the usual moinor service bits that you do. Had problems with dirty fuel last week but have flushed the tank and today the float pots. I just hope tmrw when the carbs go back in it runs smoothly…

Hope to speak to lots of you soon on this great site – Ta Ta for now

Burn out at the pub – I actually won a bet and rode it through this pub one night (got permission of the landlord and put my winnings into the charity box)
