I might get the spelling wrong but he was understudy to Jemima Parry Jones who I last watched flying at Chatsworth Show. SORRY GUYS FOR RIPPING THE BIKE THREAD. Jok.

Lenmcharristar 9,183 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Some lovely bikes here lads good thread, i didont take any pics of mine, ive had, best enduro i had was a 600 husaberg what a beast of a bike, although i always love the kawasaki kx 250 rode many of those, all started on an rm50 with 3 gears what i learned on, it was a mate that had it and he taught me on it lol, always loved suzuki bandits and had a 600cc what a let down after coming of an R1, and one of the best rake around bikes i scooted around on for a while was a 250 super dream, they were an amazing sounding engine. Good thread lads, love a rake on a bike but if need 1 for each foot these days ffs lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,036 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 In the day, I had a CBR 800 which was the American import of the 750. My friend had the Honda K4 and another friend had, I seem to remember, a 6 cylinder Suzuki 2 stroke. It was red black and gold. Fast as fury but what was it? Jok.

I remember the late 90s when the blades came out, they changes the game on race bikes, i loved the zx10r and id love a rip on an H2, the feeling going near top speeds of those machines is addictive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jok 3,036 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 I digress. We had a number of RM250’s when doing desert work. They were brilliant. Back in the UK I did a hospitality weekend for Kawasaki UK at Darley Dale race circuit and was asked to bring my race leathers for the final day. About 10 of us drew numbers and I got the ZX10 along with a photographer. We rode along the bypass near Sudbury prison when the geezer gave me the wring it’s neck sign. Fck me, it was amazing. At first I worried about the fact that it wasn’t mt my bike but that didn’t last long. Dean Richards smashed it to bits in the Race of Champions. Good days. Jok.

jok 3,036 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 FDR. Can’t remember mate. RG doesn’t ring bells. Might it have been the Ram Air.? I think it was. Six cylinders straight made it seem very wide. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jok 3,036 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just been on the Suzuki site and looked at all the Ram Air bikes but it wasn’t one of them. Could be wrong of course, it was a while ago. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
