Nope.....no fish in here......only budgies!!....Oh and a few Zebra..and a meercat..Mmmm...

Cheating sod!.....I can hardly believe he had the bloody cheek to do that!.  

Thanks for the replies guys. I will be up for a meet or two as soon as i can get this fookin bike back together and my leg settles down otherwise it'll be by car......which kind of defeats the object of a bike club......but i suppose this time of the year its warm and dry by car!!....
 
This weekend, i am taking a mate down to Devon to pick up a very nice 1000 Fazer and i expect he would be up for a meet as well!..

Done!

Started my bike riding in 1974 with a Raleigh Runabout but quickly went on to being a telegraph boy on the gpo and doing 34000 miles in  2.5 years on a Puch 2 geared thing capable of the amazing speed of 36mph down hill with the wind up yer arse!!...lol I passed my motorbike test on a Suzuki 125 twin Stinger in 1976 but passed my moped test (yes had to do that for the gpo) in 1975 on the post office Puch 50!...eugh!!. At least back then there was no cbt and the likes and just 2 parts to the test (written and practical).

My little Fazer!...

Lazarus, That my friend was the best story i've heard in a very long time!! Absolutely bloody brilliant as has already been said. Fookin fantastic!!

Bugger....Wrong one! ....Sorry bout that...Try this one....

Trouble is you don't realise how heavy the standard unladen bandit  is........and then we put every thing on them....including the kitchen sink!

I'll try a different picture of the ST to go on...............

This was the Triumph Sprint ST 955i from wreck to finished. I am proud to say all my own work!

Ok, i'll start!....Back in 1974/1976 i had 2 Raleigh runnabout mopeds, a Raleigh Wisp, and following those was my first bigger bike, a 125 Stinger twin Suzuki. In 1977 sold the Stinger to a mate and bought a year old 250GT Suzuki with Ram Air (whatever the hell that was) but loved it. The reg number was OCG940P and she only had about 2000 on her when i had to sell her on. I kept her for just a year because the insurance had rocketed up in price to £100 for the year and i was devastated that i couldn't afford to insure her for the next year. It stopped me riding bikes for 25 years for some reason....I came back some 8 years ago with a little CB250RS Honda which kept breaking down so i bought another RS to repair the first one only to end up totally restoring her and selling it on. I then had to buy another RS to repair the first one. I still have both of those in bits ready for restoration.
A close neighbour saw me one day and asked if i fancied another bike? It was a red CD175 in basket case condition for bugger all, and of course i said Mmmm, yes please. Oh dear......still got that one too! I was looking on ebay one day and fell for this pile of crap CBX550 in a just running condition in Essex (concidering i live in Lymington Hants 100 miles away) so bought that for a song and almost completely restored that as well costing me around £600. I sold that to a guy in Ireland and as far as i am aware, he still has it! The next one was a Suzuki Bandit 600. Loved it loved it loved it!!!..Took it to France and Spain in 2008 and did a 1700 mile trip in 6 days. When i got back, i was longing for something with a bit more power and started looking for 1200 Bandit and instead ended up with another bit of a wreck....Like a magnet for wrecks!!..... I found a Triumph 955i Sprint ST which had been dropped on a guys front foot path smashing the side and nose fairing. I bought it for £1200, spent about £150 on it and about 90 hrs of labour...sold her for £1900 looking beautiful. That was another seriously fast machine. The next one was a 1200 Bandit which had been stored for at least 2 years going nowhere but with less than 7000 miles was a bargain at £1500. Held onto her for 2 years and sold her on with 14000 miles to buy another 1200 Bandit on a 03 plate with a genuine 5124 miles from new in imaculate condition. I managed to drop it twice! Both times at 0 mph and the second time it broke my leg so sold her on again.......only to buy....Ta Da..My first 600 Fazer! Present bike, and due my leg being bad still and it needing chain and sprockets that i cant get down to do, I still haven't ridden it more that 3/4 mile!! Longing to ride it. Sorry about all the dribble!
