A zx9 B4 in bright Red, some sort of import from an outfit @ Three Legged Cross Ringwood, was full power + a bit which was confirmed on Stan Stevens dyno at Brands, kept it 5 years, the longest serving bike i've ever owned, stuck to the road like snot and so confidence inspiring.
Just bikes for me ta

Kawasaki KLE500 mainly used for commuting and weekend excursions. Not bad on off-road tracks too.

10 years ago, how the time flies!
I was on either on the FJ1200 or the Aprilia Pegaso 650 (first one of the two Pegasos I've owned) depending on what sort of ride I was going for...
....if I can find some pics and scan them in l'll post them.

A 550 Honda Nighthawk - it was a bit crap, but I loved the engine.

As well as a Guzzi Strada I had this, my Brothers old Kwak we built he got married and divorced himself from Bikes so I took it on. It was horrid not my style at all so sold it on.

Big Don ermmm....

Your front mud guards on backwards

I hated those fibreglass kits, borrowed a mates CB900F with one on, made it look more monsterous than it already was & at the time I liked the idea of a 70s style race replica

10 years ago I was riding this '79 GS750


This (above) is how it looks now, won "Best Rat" at the Wet Pussy Rally & decided it needed some paint, chrome etc. After a while I thought it was turning into a bit of a tarts handbag & mothballed it & now I have no money it's growing on me again

Actualy the mudguard is on the right way he had it rebuilt after a fall at a Kwak dealer in Hednesford Cannock, who sold these things but it was still an unpleasent thing to ride
yes there was a glut of kits about then but not my style.
