Wasps4Sale Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Wish they had bikes like that around when I was 17ish. I would have been up to my eyeballs in lady-bits and that's an absolute fact! Happy International Ladies Day btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barlow Strada Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (by way of a bump, just a comment) when i was 17ish you could ride any size bike. even suh as a kawasäki z9000. mind you, it would be doubtful that any pillion would be daft enough to ride more than the once.

Wasps4Sale Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I think that was the only restriction wasn't it? You couldn't take a pillion. You used to see GSXR 1100's blasting about with L Plates on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasps4Sale Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Heh, never got the chance to ride one. Were they as much of a beast as I used to imagine? I imagine they were quite unforgiving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I weighed around 9 stone in those days but never had a problem with handling. Saying that, it was a case of throttle open and hang on, I had more bottle in those days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, it was a case of throttle open and hang on, I had more bottle in those days... My uncle had one of those GSXr's. And an Ex_Up Yamaha. Remember them? Quick bikes in their day. The RC30 is my all time favourite - worth a lot of money now in mint condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasps4Sale Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Remember the KR1S's and Gammas. Ace bikes! And yup, those RC30's are worth a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 The old RD's could be a handful, frightened myself a couple of times on the 350. For 18 months I rode around London and the south on a GS550e, Manx reg and displaying 'L' plates, with my old green paper, hand-written Provisional and Ballabrokers insurance docs. Was stopped half a dozen times, once carrying a pillion passenger. Each time, I rode away from a plod scratching his head over what he'd just seen and heard, which was basically, 'that's how it is on the Isle of Man', a place some of them had never heard of! That was some bike, my favourite pose-machine with Marshall 4-1 pipe, cut down seat and ace bars. That year's model was the lowest height Suzi produced too. Walkman's had just become popular and I'd fitted the phones into the helmet. Nothing like racing down to Brighton for the weekend on a summer's evening with Whitesnake blasting in the lid. Great times. Apologies for going off-topic, did the bike get sold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
