jonno 357 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Lambretta GP200 innocenti was my very first bike I bought. I borrow other bikes and passed my test when the examiner was on foot I think I paid £16 to pass my test The lambretta was my pride and joy it went to a few rallies. Happy memoirs and happy days. You could tell the mods which rode lambrettas they had calf muscles the size of footballs from pushing the usless thing home when it brokedown when it rained. Still loved it though I had an Arthur Francis 225 Bultaco piston and barrel reworked and a massive amal carb that would suck a small child in they got near the bellmouth of the carb last bike sold 6years ago GSXR 750L Oil cooler, first model with the UD forks Jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcha Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 I had a sym DD50 which blew up about three months after buying it. However, I turned 17 just as it happened, so my dad was all up for me getting a 125. Got a Rieju SMX 125, brand new, which I fell off four days after buying. About a year on I got some goon in a L200 go up my *** when I was stopped. With the SMX dead I bought a Suzuki DR125, which I had for two weeks before some dozey bint pulled out in front of me. Went into the side of the car, over the top and landed on my right hand and fractured my wrist. I've got the SMX back on the road after being told by the DVLA it was never a write off Now I've done me test and bought a Yamaha FZR 400, which I can't wait to have on the road! If anybody knocks me off that theres gonna be hell to pay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziplex Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Had to respond to this one as it brings back so many fond memories.......my first bike was a Suzuki AP50, how I loved that bike, then I got a Suzuki X7 and was I king of the road. I used to get up at 6 in the morning just to go for a ride before work! I've had loads since...Honda 750 fours, GPZ900's (now there was a bike), FJ1200's, FZR1000, GSX1400, Aprilia Falco and now out back is a Blackbird. Have to say though the X7 was my favourite it seemed so fast at the time and that smell of two stroke oil ..................is there a one of those little faces that shows an audible sigh??
