Hi all,
Just signed up, riding a GSXR 1000 K1 at present, had a whole long list of bikes over my time going back to the mid seventies on road bikes and early seventies on off road bikes.
Fantic GT was the first ped in 76, probably before many of you were born !
Best allround bike I ever had was a Bandit 12
Best sports was either my 750 SRAD or the one I have now
Worst bike I ever had is a toss up between the Yamaha XTZ Super Tenere which was just awful in finish and reliability and the XJR 13SP which was overweight, under powered and handled like a shopping trolley.
Most regreted sales where my CBX 1000 and my Z13, oh ill handling monsters with character.
So basically thats me, 46 years young but no one can tell when I have me lid on !

I was more of a Highway / Bullseye drinker and joined The Hole In The wall for a while but do most of my beers at home, not that i can drink a lot as I drive everyday as a cabby, did you know Basils is now demolished ?
I believe Mr Brothereton drank there

Glad to hear that I am not the only one old enough to have had a real "ped"
I bet some of us can even remember black and white television and vinyl records.

At least your FS1E never needed a rebuild every 23.7 miles and you had proper electrics, the times I pushed that bloody thing home
