Oh my, sooo straight, and a windbreak. Can't have been too silly, I don't see any rubber on the road.

Wait until summer! :smiling2: :smiling2: :smiling2:

Bright and breezy here today, so the ex-army Harley enjoyed a pleasant 65 mile trundle through the backroads.

Found this wartime relic standing guard over a flooded field. I was parked over the road beside a very swollen river...



Thanks for looking in....

It's getting better, not only have i found a site for like minded modeller's but it's got a lot of biker's too!! I have been riding since 1974 first few year's as a naughty fellow then passed my test and carried on, it just get's in the blood; apparently i was nearly borne on an A.J.S. I do not own a car just two bike's and not many brain cell's, at least that's how it seem's when the weather is not so good!!

finally found a pic of my last bike........600 Bandit......lovely bike, comfortable and usuable.......why dont any one make similar now?.....been looking at a bike again and it seems no one makes a 600-ish bike thats just an honest good looking bike,.......honestly there is nothing out there that takes my fancy

After a couple of years forced absence from riding, I bought this old girl for a bit of fun when I get the chance!

Added it to my photo collection of every bike i have owned - some are 'stock' photos as the originals have long gone!

Is that a B120 I spy in the third shot? If so (picture is a little small to be sure) it looks just like the one I learned to ride on…..and passed my part one and two tests on.

[tigersteve]

The 4th shot is the B120 ( 3rd was Suzuki 250 Super Six 1967 ! ) probably what you meant - I bought it as a commuter bike after the 250 died and part exchanged it when I bought the Bonneville !

You have to start somewhere - not ashamed of it, commuted to work in London and took my girlfriend ( now, still my wife! ) on holiday to Weymouth for a week.......
Started off red and white and I turned it into a black SX200 mean machine :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy:

Yep, you can always tell a lambretta rider….they have nothing between their legs……

Got it. I think I was confused because my 120 was the same ‘orrible blue grey colour……did yours have the “toe and heel” gear change lever?

[Nicko]

…did yours have the “toe and heel” gear change lever?

I started out on a mid-seventies Suzi A50 which had one of those...

Looks like you've had a few Triumph triples Steve so you know what you're getting...

200cc of unbridled, pure raw power - mmmm! Love your Lady's flares and platforms -may I suggest she clearly possessed a more stylish instinct at that time than your good self! :hugging-face: (Sorry, couldn't resist a dig mate!)

I used to ride trial/MX bikes in my younger day. I had an old Kawasaki ke125 1983 registration which I bought for £350 and rode hell for leather on stubble fields back in the day; was great fun. Also rode a CR125 and a Husqvarna 450 which was a beast! Not so much a fan of road riding, found off roading more fun and safer (no traffic to worry about!).

I went to the IOM TT once; was a great experience. Much respect to the TT riders because I wouldn't be brave enough to attempt that course!
