shropshire dan 467 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I did my 39hp rest at 17 and had a kawasaki gpx 250 then after 2 years got a gsxf 600 then gsxr750 and now a gsxr1000 and a fireblade. Don't go on it to much nowadays with young children, I am planning on selling it soon and waiting until the kids are older. The bandits can be wheelie happy but something like a sv650 or something like a thundercat 600. My dad has the Tcat 600 and it's a great little sports tourer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flipper_Al 1,012 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 My 70's classic http://rs72.pbsrc.com/albums/i179/flipper_al/IMG_0365.jpg~320x480 Nice looking kettle flipper, I've got a few T's and GT's but all are well blessed in patina or in bits, lol.....done tens of thousands of miles on GT250's and T500 back in their days. Full of character and easy to mend or kick straight, I still like 'em today as much as i ever did. Recently though, I've been lusting after a speed triple. Not the best picture, will dig out some better ones,...as it didn't look like that when i bought it Would love another... maybe a H2 next time, but they make serious money Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest vin Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 get yourself one of these kits off Fleebay.. Best £60 I've ever spent. I go out late at night and ride a few old tracks with the dogs running/trotting behind..Keeps them ticking over through the summer. They fit onto most bike frames and are quite easy to fit...Its only cheap and nasty and you need to get the spanners out and tighten things up regularly.But that's all part of the fun..PS..I've now fixed the leaky fuel pipe..lol. I had a go on a Fireblade when they came out and I nearly killed myself in 3rd gear...lol...Sod that.! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 10,014 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 image.jpg this was my last bike I even fell off that broke my heart more than anything else haha if you do decide to go for it just be careful mate atb AT hell of a thing that lol, ive got a younger brother who was/is motorbike nut . but he had bad accent and lost the use of his left arm, he came off his bike GSX-R750 | Suzuki GB PLC , a bike with top speed of 170mph . when he came off his bike, a old bloke in a car hit him . the old bloke didnt stop at a junction , went straight over hit him and my brother flew off and hit the curb stone on edge off the road. what if did it severed the nerve endings of his shoulder muscle to his brain, so the arm never responds to be used. but what we found out latter that this type off fall is quite common with bikers , and few get this terrible accident. its ok going the ton and more around nice open/flat track no prob, but out on the roads with all that concrete/ pillars etc out there, and pricks like that old man who prob shouldn't be driving , it very dangerous past time , and the day of the accident my brother was doing the speed limit (30) the old bloke was doing 45mph . so even if you ride a bike safe they will still hit you , have very long hard think mate about bikes 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
