your bikes of yesteryear

[coleser]

Days gone bye eh! Started on the road with a Fanny Barnett Light cruiser 175cc. (Hand painted by my ol man) D.M.W. trail bike with earls forks. (That was the fittest i`ve ever been as the crankcase seals had gone and I had to run with it for about half a mile bumpstarting it and you couldn`t see me when the thing fired upfl4g71) Then Norton, AJS`s, BSA, then finishing the british era with a Norton 850 commando, brilliant bike (wish I could afford one now though) it seemed so big and butch when I had it after the other bikes, but as said. . . .looks small by todays standard. (great times)

First bike was a '79 cb400n upgraded to a '80 gs850g loved it to bits got the '90's zzr11 loved it too but ate back shocks. Bought a cb400 four 1978 and restored it only to crash it on the first weekend out. Moved to the UK bought a 2001 gsxr600r worst piece of rubbish ever got rid of it spent some time on a triumph trident.. definitely not for me then bought the bird as I could not afford insurance on a busa and never looked back.
