    For some odd reason I've thrown a sweeet little webpage together - listing
    (probably) all the weird and wonderful bikes I've had over the years:

    http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/mybikes/mybikes.htm

    Many of then were 'pre digital' (or even 'pre camera'), so I don't have a
    pic of my own bike and have had to raid the 'Net for pix of similar models.
    Long shot this, but I thought I'd ask anyway - anybody got a better pic of
    the following bikes that I could use for illustration purposes?


    Honda CBR100F - in red/white only?

    PGO 80cc scoot - in red?

    Honda CN250 - pic of a real one, preferably in dark red?

    Kawasaki EX500 - in 'standard' green, white and blue colours?

    Kawasaki GPX250 - in black, as per the pic I used, but with *all* the front
    wheel?

    Honda DAX 50 - in black?

    Yamaha TY175 - better pic?

    Yamaha YB100 - better pic?

    Honda CD125 - better pic in red?

    Yamaha RD250 - better pic and in charcoal grey?

    Honda CD175 - better pic in red?

    BSA Beagle - in green?

    Matchless G11 - outdoor pic and in black?

    BSA Dandy - better pic and in black?

    Raleigh Runabout - in green/cream?

    Cyclemaster - better looking grid with all the front wheel?


    Thanks for looking (those that did) - any help would be much appreciated!

    Also, anyone got a similar 'my bikes' page they want me to post a link to?
    (Not with too many nipples and bell-ends on it, though...!! ;-)

    TIA

    And in a supreme irony, the picture of the CD175 is actually of *my*
    old bike, nicked from my webpage.....

    Not ironic at all - it's a lovely bike, the pic's just a bit dark and don't
    show it off to well. Got a better one (it's the *twin* to the one I had) or
    say the word and I'll take the pic off...??

    Otherwise *rejoice*...

    Had mine back in the 70's - can't remember what I chopped it in for, but I
    do remember there was a father and 2 dopey sons 'biker family neighbours'
    and I could *earole* round the outside of any of 'em on the nearby
    roundabouts on it and get a shower of sparks off the centre stand (like off
    an anglegrinder) every time I pulled into the cul de sac where we all
    lived - terrified the crap out of 'em....

    :)

    I only sold that one a few years ago - someone on here bought it for
    £325, IIRC - it'd be worth £500 now. I bought the last pair of
    mudguards that Dave Silver had, and found a brand new pair of chrome
    tank panels hanging up in a breaker's for £10. He didn't know what
    they were for!

    Great bike, but when I started working in Tun Wells, I found I used it
    less and less (40 miles each way, half of which is motorway) is a bit
    much for a little 175, so I sold it. Wish I sill had it.

    And you've got some TDL Transmission Line Wardrobes...
    A mate of mine had a pair. They were good, but fucking huge.

    Was that the 4-cylinder fully-faired super-sports version of the CB100N?

    Thanks for that link - I suspect the pic I already have came from that
    site...??

    Here's a laugh concerning the Beagle I had - I was actually stopped for
    speeding on it!

    The copper said I was doing 70 on a dual carriageway in Stevenage (no idea
    what the limit was on it) - that was a big porky for a start, the damn thing
    couldn't get up to anything like that speed!! (The coppers were in a *van*
    FFS - should give anyone a clue!!)

    Then he asked me for the Registration Number, so I turned the bars and read
    'ERO 12B' right off the front, stick-on number plate!! (Never forgotten it
    and I couldn't guarantee to give you the number off the car I've got right
    now!!) Anyway, that seemed to do 'em and I was told to *watch it in the
    future* and they fucked off.

    *Surreal* or what?

    :)
