yen_powell Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 CZ, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki. 5 manufacturers out of 17 bikes ever owned over a 38 year period. 3 of those 17 were second (trail) bikes, so only 14 main bikes in 38 years as my daily transport. Main bikes CZ250, CG125, XS250, CX500, GPz750, GPz750, FJ1200, XRV750, FJ1200. XRV750, XRV750, XLV1000, KLZ1000, XT1200 Trail bikes XL250R, DR350, DR350 I seem to own a bike for 2.7 years on average, but some of the above were for short periods like the CZ and the XS250 which were horrible. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always amazes me that a manufacturer like Ducati that have made so many beautful motorcycles could also make such an ugly piece of shit like that !! Having said that , we just sold a black one for a good customer of ours. I think the buyer was Mr S. Wonder 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i went to get back in touch with my mate he didn't live at his old address anymore the bugger had sold up and moved to Bulgaria It should have looked like this in the vid but all that's left is the engine. which now i think of it i haven't seen for over 30 years i'll have to see if the old man still has it kicking around up there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its even worse than that hes from mountain ash and probably the cheapness of the place attracted him I just looked him up on Facebook and he looks like he's doing well still into bikes and in some club, pretty much the same as what he was when i bothered with him. He's 10 years older than me so should be 64 now. He introduced the naïve young 17 year old i was back then to bike rally's and clubs which i feel really enriched my life so i do thank him for that by the way he is an anti vaxer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
