PsychoBikerBens - History of owned bikes

[PsychoBikerBen]

Here are the machines of my life.

The main ones are Mi 125 Superdream , Suzuki GS550 , GPZ 750 , GPZ 1170-Streetfighter and now my Blackbird,
All the others were second bikes or "make do hacks" while I was building said Streetfighter.
My other GPZ1100 was also an 1170 big bore which I bought in red and did up in black and got rid of PDQ as it was owing me a lot of dosh.

Ah- the memories

Here's my first-My 125 , including matt black open face & the inocent look of a biker to be!!

My very sensible GT550 "shaftie"
