Hi There Guys and Girls,
This kind of post always makes me smile ... seems like the older Blokes get the more they have to brag about it?
Not so with the Ladies ... they keep most of their personal data to themselves :o) ... most times :o)
Anyway to get to the question ... I did All my Tests for Bikes, Cars, HGV Trucks, Cranes, Boats and Ships in the Royal Navy back in 1956/7 it was part of the job ;o) The first Bike that was mine was an Ariel Square Four a 1000cc Tank!
At that time my Dad had an Ariel 350 Red Hunter and he was as jealouse as a pig ... but he still left me behind on the twisty bits between Brum and the Navy Bases down on the South coast and way up in Scotland :o) Happy Days ! :o)
To date I've had over 50 Bikes in 60 years ... some I kept for ages ... most I rode for a few months between drafts (postings abroad)
Had three Gen 1 FZS Fazers ... 2001, 2003 and 2005. Still never sat on or seen anything to beat them for a real 'All Rounder'! Currently I'm on a Honda CB 1300S with EZS single seat Sports Sidecar ... almost certainly the end of my line. Cough, Gasp, Splutter, Groan, F**t, Breath :o(
Stay Safe, use the Zimmer ;o) Trev. (Mallorca)
