My first bike after being 'Born again'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
My second bike (still had the first one though !)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honda NT650 - RC31 (Bros)
From memory some of the bikes I have owned since about 1968 are as follows:
Royal Enfield RE125 - 125cc single cylinder 2 stroke. Got this when I was 14 or 15 and rode it around some fields.
NSU Quickly - 50cc moped, field bike.
James Cadet - 197cc single 2 stroke.
BSA Bantam - 125cc single 2 stroke.
BSA C15 - 250cc single cylinder 4 stroke - my
first road bike, went to school on it on my sixteenth birthday and no crash helmet either
!!
We were tough (or stupid) then (1970).
Triumph 3TA - 350cc twin cylinder 4 stroke.
BSA A7 - 500cc 4 stroke twin, plunger frame, mildly 'chopped'.
Triumph Tiger
100 - 500cc 4 stroke pre-unit twin, rigid frame that I 'chopped'.
Before and After shots (not quite complete as awaiting 21in front wheel).
March 2003 - found the chop again after 30 years, a mate has it not 15
miles away from me !!
He's slowly re-building it as well as a Triumph Trident.
Triumph Daytona
- 500cc 4 stroke twin.
Straight thro' megaphones - sounded luverly.
Triumph Trials Cub - 200cc single, great fun at the time.
Kawasaki Z400 - 400cc twin.
Gave up riding around 1988 after nearly being knocked off twice in one week and bought a second car.
Also went down the kit car route in 1999 with a Dutton Melos which I rebuilt and kept for
a year before getting back to bikes.
The Melos was OK and quite rapid with a 1600cc Ford Escort Mexico engine.
