My last one,

Portugal 2008,
Dave.

South France, 2003.

My GPZ back in 1986, couldn't afford a Simpson so went for a Bieffe ( remember them ? ) with Scott Goggles to get the 'Look'

I have a Blade in the stable now..........30 mile range, then the knees and wrists give up !
35 years on and I haven't learn't shit.

My ZX6, I loved that bike but had it when the Mrs was learning to ride and following a learner was hell on the neck and wrists and if I went out with the boys it was lethal, it was going to cost me my life or my licence so it had to go.

Stupid thing is I probably now ride my S10 faster than I used to ride the ZX6!

still miss this bike
but this was just about the last place i rode it .... though. it seems , is still on the road?/

notice the terminal coolant stain under the engine .... dohhhhhh

any ZXR 750 H1 pics but got to be green I did so lust after one? or RC30 stunning engineering exotica, used to follow a stripped down IOM race bike around back in the day but it was only good for a couple of hours on the road at most as it ran only on some high octane fuel and did'nt like pump juice. Back in the days of the local A team and B team Sunday blasts, crazy to think about it now, very little notice of speed limits then, road blocks, helicopters and funerals ended it. I was lucky as any to get through the era with a lot of broken plastic and a few pink scars on my corners.

Bloke on the right - Oi' gimme my gloves back, and if you're gonna start coming with us get your dad down to Argos for your 'Fishermans waterproof suit' they're only seven quid ! ............. Plenty of bubble wrap round your knees too. We will make a biker of you yet son.

I see a red bike and I want it painted black
You don't actually NEED an Italian V-Twin, or a greyhound...but they do make life seem better
