What was the first bike you *really* wanted?

SteveH wibbled incoherently

UGLY_AS_FUCK.

Z250, far nicer bike to ride and look at.

Because it's been in a damp shed without a plug for more than 20 years.
It'll be siezed solid.

Of course, the open exhaust port won't have helped either.

 

Triang trike, but it had to have the rounded box between the two back wheels
to carry my teddy bear, bit's of string and the other paraphenalia a 5 year
old collects.

SteveH was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

I'd buy one soon then. It looks a bit like prices are picking up...

Blimey, I remember them. Lovely they were. Red ones were fastest.

 

All things being well, I'll be releasing the equity in the house early
next year and fucking off to somewhere cheaper (1) so I'll get my trade
contact in Llanelli to do some digging around for me.

(1) Aberdare / Merthyr Tydfil

 

FZR 750R (OWO1) - The endurance racer lookalike. Never had one, closest
I got was FZR600.

I did talk to a squaddie (on an R7 he bought from germany for £12K) that
claimed there was a bike shop in Germany that had 3 OWO1s still in the
crate. No matter how many cigarettes I stubbed out in his eyes, the
bastard wouldn't tell me where...

You mean, like "selling"?

Hmm. Wales. I quite liked it when I went there in Jan, but it's a bit
to wet for me to live there...

Not to mention that the kind of work I do is probably not very much in
demand out there anyway.

 

Macie :

Kawasaki GPZ550, in 1984 I think, cos it looked nice.

 

Heh.... selling would probably have been a better word.

It can be wet, but the dry summer days are worth the extra rain, IMHO.
Some of the best biking roads in Europe in that area.

Fsking cold in the winter - but I can live with that when a decent 3-bed
house with garage costs under £100k.

Heh, I'll be fine. The Welsh are a bit, erm, 'pikey', IYSWIM ;-)

Was it red? Do you know, I can't remember the colour of the first modern
bike that deflowered me. . .

There again I can't remember the name of the girl from Clapham that night
on Henfield common (I ain't forgotten).

 

Brian?

 

I was thinking about a Kawasaki H2 750, in purple.

 

Why don't you branch out?

I mean, if you were on commission with a motorcycle dealership, you'd
bring loads of custom into their workshop by going within 100 yards of
random bikes around the place.

 

No. I think I would have recalled that, when she dealt out the rations,
with some or other passions.

 

I've actually had one of those. Hmmm, wouldn't stop, wouldn't start AND
wasn't as fast as an RD200.

Not one of my my faves...

 

Candy Wine red, to be exact.

You'd be right up the junction, mate.
