I`ve never managed to get away from the Yam FJ`s. Thet`re a brilliant touring bike. My first 3 were all in red and white, but my current one is white and blue as it`s the ABS model. Happy Days.
Heh harry worth
My 1st bike was 1964 C102 brand new on the road tax and full comp cost me a staggering £92-00.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
my 2nd bike was a Royal Enfield continental GT 250. <o:p></o:p>
It was brand new and I paid £249 in 1966 <o:p></o:p>
I loved that bike and always regret selling it. Anyone seen it <o:p></o:p>
FKM 71D. OK they leaked oil but it was my work horse, I relied on it for work and used it in all weather. It was reputed to be the fastest British 250 single in its day. I was looking at a 250 Honda sport but thought I would support the British bike industry because those Jap bikes stood no chance lol. How wrong can you be!<o:p></o:p>
I lived quite close to Brand at one time, so I went most weekends and watched whatever petrol head stuff was on. Cars bikes whatever. I could see the changes take place with the bikes. 2 cylinders went to 4 and then 6 and it was on the cards that British bikes were on their way out.<o:p></o:p>

BMW R50 1958 airhead. My current bike I love the old girl.<o:p></o:p>
Why so many 125's you may ask. Because I kept going back to bikes<o:p></o:p>
roughly every decade. Confess I failed my test in 1967 but did not try again until 2010. I have regretted for years not retaking my test in the early days. I think I had a fear of failure or something. I will add though, having only recently taken the test again it has improved my car driving no end getting rid of all those bad habits we pick up. Getting a bike licence was on my list of things to do before I met the great DSA examiner in the sky.<o:p></o:p>

I spent 1/2 day there when I picked my bike up. It was well worth the trip without buying the BMW.
Sorry for going on! It’s the age you know. Old git.
Yam Fazer 600 (bought new the day after I passed my test) Honda VFR400 NC24 Aprilia RS250 Ducati Monster 620 (bought to go club racing on) Ducati GT1000
Thats it. Apart from the Honda, which was a bit of an expensive pain in the arse, I loved them all.
Suzuki GT250 (pre X7 model), which died before my test, which I took on a almost new MZ TS250 (gearbox was so stiff I couldn't find neutral, but still passed?!)
