1 My 1st motorbike! at 16 yrs old. It's a Puch something or other. A Yam fizzie it ain't :-( No pictures of actual bike, but this must be similar.
| 2 This is what my 2nd bike looked like. It's a Yamaha DT250. I took and passed my motorbike test on one. (I was about 17½ I think)
| 3 My 3rd bike was a Ossa 250 Trials bike like this. Not road legal... Purely for laughs... (Had this one until around 1987 I think)
|
4 My 1st 'back to biking bike'. Yamaha FZ750 in Marlboro racing colours by Dream Machine. (Bought in 1993)
| 5 Took the FZ750 on holiday to North Yorkshire. Here it is at Moors End on the NYMR.
| 6 Took FZ750 to LeMans in 1994. With my mate Dave (Suzuki GSF1100?).
|
7 On way back from LeMans, we dropped in at St Naziare. The old Submarine Pens.
| 8 BMW F650 Funduro. Don't know what I was thinking of here. Fancied something less powerful and different I suppose! Didn't last for long!
| 9 Suzuki GSF 600 Bandit. A nice naked bike. Used to get plastered in flies!
|
10 I did like this bike. I fitted drag bars to make it more comfortable and planned more.
| 11 Here you can see the Renntec sports rack fitted.
| 12 Honda CBR600fv. I wanted a faired bike for protection. Not as practical as expected. Not fast enough!
|
13 Honda VFR750. Temporarily back to 2nd hand for this one. Very nice bike with stage 1 tuning. Race can, Dynojet/Filter kit and set up on Dyno etc.
| 14 Yamaha YZF-R1. 2000 model. Now we're talking! This was the best. Awesome.
| 15 Next to the West Somerset Railway nr Williton.
|
16 Personal number plate very suitable! Now with Hi-Level race can.
| 17 What a bike!
| 18 Triumph Tiger 955i. 2002. Taken outside my Sisters house. Fun bike, but it wasn't as comfortable over long distances as expected.
