Also a photo of my most admired bike. Its a gl1000 cruiser with a single seat with red flames and a ''crinkle'' style red and black paint job. I bought it as is and rode it for a few years before selling it on. It was my second gl1000. The other was a full dress tourer and this felt like a lightweight in comparison!

And my current bike , a very clean VFR800 non v-tec. Its a worthy companion for my ST1100 which holds the record for my longest owned bike (13 years)

My first bike was a CB125S, similar to this, although I had a topbox on mine.



Sold many years ago, this is all I have left of it, found it clearing out my Dad's garage, the days when a front number plate was used.

I remember having a spin around Cowes (Phillip Island) on one of those back in the late 70's or early 80's!  :thumbs

Good fun!!  :runyay

Thank god we aren't required to have a front numberplate these days!  :thumb

Although if the Police and the Media had any say, they'd be back in a flash...
