Hi Guys and Gals
After reading Wolfman's thread,Is the FZ6 the best bike you have owned or ridden???.
I thought that's a hard question to answer as there has been many great bikes over the years, sure the Fz6 is truly a fantastic machine, but is really that good?
I am a bit of a bike whore, Ive been through many, I love all things bikes and change them all to regularly. I been riding and actively involved around motorcycles since I was 6 years old starting with a home made mini bike that my brothers and myself rode around the farm. That was "cough cough" 40 years ago.
So people,,, I don't know if this has been done before on this forum, but tell us a little about what got you into riding and run through the bikes you have owned and loved or hated.
I will get the ball rolling, and hey its not a pissing contest, but I think it will be interesting and enlighten you men folk about some of the opposite sex!!
1.Home made mini bike--- heaps of fun, played thunder-dome around our dam!
2. 1975 MR 50, All I can remember is I thought this thing was fast!
3. 1976-77 XR 75, Dam thing kept on breaking down, I thought it was ****.
4. XL 175, I think it was a 1982 model but not sure had a red tank.
5.83 XL 250 silver my first on road bike, not sure about the bike but loved the freedom.
6.RG 250 gamma, my first taste of a road bike and it was a 2 stroke screamer!
7. 86 VFR 750r wow what a bike that v4 engine with gear driven cams sure made a sweet sound out of my custom built megacycle 4-2-1 exhaust. It was a sweet ride as well. A contender for my favorite all time bike.
8.1987 RGV 250 my first and only track bike, bought it brand new and had some fun, proddy racing with the guys.
9. 1983 CB 1100F Boldor Yea I went backwards in years, but I saw the bike with the gold rims and just had to have it. got it cheap as well.
Had several years in the 90's without a bike, yea kids and stuff.
Moving on
10.1998 Bmw 1100r Silver, ya know I don't know why people go on about Bmw's as I don't think that much of them.
11. 2003 CBR 954 such a sweet bike and fast.
12.2005 Bolwell Scooter Le-grande 200 (175). Did I type that!
13. 2007. Bolwell Scooter 250 Firenze. ok I am ashamed now!
14. 2006 FZ6 YEA:cheer:
15. 2008. FZ6 :cheer::cheer: still got it!
16. 2010. Cbr 600rr, bought it crashed and had some fun rebuilding it.
17. 2009 Z750 naked, to cold and to wet, only had it a couple of months
18. 2008 Kwaka GTR 1400, Awesome bike, but ***k its heavy for me, I may sell it if anyone is interested MINT condition less than 10k, fully optioned.
So that's it people 18 bikes in cough cough years and I may have forgotten some.
Two bikes that really stand out to me are the Yamaha Fz6 and the Honda VFR 750, two incredible machines.
So get typing, tell us about your riding history.
Cheers
Mandy
