Bikes, Who's got one then?

[Mothsiri]

not my bike but i dimakethe exhaust
the clip was of its first fitting before being chromed
very loud 4 inch exhaust

had to make a small baffle in it due to not hearing anything after test run
itwas onlyreved to 5000 in clip

I done that to a C50 and a C90 years ago got all the neighbours out looking
Didnt sound as drastic as that though!!!

Had the expansion can on an SP370 burst... it's located under the seat... and scared the sh*t outa me when it blew...  
Also made my leg extremely hot..

Got a Norton Commando. Had it now for 32 years and almost completed a total nuts and bolts rebuild. just need to buy a new shed to complete it - timing, tappets, oil and tyres.

Thinking about getting a hack to run back and forth to work. Mainly because of the cost of fuel and Severn bridge tolls. Torn between either a Triumph Tiger or 500 single trials bike.

My Vigor 650 would have been a good bike for that run

My last bike on the road was an EN500 Vulcan, lovely bike and miss it dearly.
Also had a few Gp100's myself in my earlier years, I had one with TZR alloys and a trick pipe on (stolen within months of finishing it unfortunately  )
What are you looking at flogging the Eliminator for, if for sale?

bikes
always good to know a forum for cars where theres a couple bikers lurking around
go on then let me try and jog my memory a bit
honda mt50 (had a garage when i was 11 and filled it with scrap bikes that i used to sit and fiddle with )
various honda c50/70/90's and a big (well it was when i was that age) suzuki gt500 - oh and a yamaha rd350 that i ragged the ass off and destroyed before realising what this bike was and how much its worth in todays market even the old cubs are worth a bit but by hell theyre indestructable - lived in the countryside and we knew most the farmers round there so i used to get to rde them all in fields and wasteland

me first bike on the road would be a tzr125 then i got the tzr125r wich was bigger and looked like a 400
then a rg125 - how i wish id kept that beauty

then i borrowed a friends kmx250 and took a jump a bit out of my depth and woke up with a nasty hole in my head and not a clue who i was where i lived or how i came to wake up with a bike on my head - still get bad headaches and the amnesia still hasnt recovered so a lot of memory of when i was younger is forgotten - or just lost lol

next up my dad bought me a brand newyzx15 then i did me big bike test and upto now had a nsr400, gsxf600,gsxr750 gsxr 400  cb500? i think thats what it was  then i built a custom one off yoshimura gsxr750 totnado - same as kevin schwantz raced in 85 took years of building and buying yoshi parts and tracking down a few ex race parts from the old yoshi bikes - then all that went up in flames - bought another gsxf600 and that was the last bike i had - next up on the cards im having a custom frame built to take a bandit 1200 engine in the style of a chopper with a custom iron maiden paintjob tuned to the max
