motorbikes!................ hmmmmmm........ i have avoided this thread until now, but lets face it once you have had bikes they are nigh on impossible to rid your system of them!
i have had, now let me count from the floor up:
broken left ankle
broken left knee
broken left hip (more about that later)
ruptured kidney
broken left wrist
, and more road rash than i can care to talk about ha ha!
i am currently on my second replacement hip on my left side, the first replacement in 1986 when i was just twenty six lasted a young man fifteen years which was pretty good considering i still liked to go out and party a fair bit
my second was replaced in 2001 and still feels very good
my cycles in order:
yam xs 250 special (awful bike, never started!)
yam xv 750, amazing v-twin engine, pulled like a train but handled awfully ( left ankle,left knee, kidney)
suzi 1100 katana, what a bike!! needed to do 100kmh+ for a comfy ride and no injuries!
kwaka gpz 900 (times 2) what a feckin macine that was! however the first one i wrote off after four days from purchase and thankfully on an insurance cover note i was insured fully, still i am now on my second hip replacement because of that bike
STUPIDLY i was visiting my orthopeadic surgeon and hospital appointments with my second gpz 900 with my crutches ocky strapped to the side of my new bike...... i mean what a cock head ha ha!
my last bike was a kwaka eddie lawson replica 1000, great machine but felt like you were straddling a barrel, but it had immense power and balance for a big machine
phew........... anyhoo thats my bike story
pat
oh...... yes me and my three lads would love to restore an old english bike one day
