Believe it or not its a Yammy XJ650 shaft drive! Apart fro the engine and wheels most everything else is one off.
Had it 20 years...

Oh well, at least I got the Yamaha bit right!

Looks very nice anyway, although I'd love to know how you cope with our pot-holed roads.

Me, I slipped a disc last year and would be literally scared of the knocks!

The other one's a standard Sportster isn't it?

Yea alton is great place for bikes, but ive only just got round to passing my car test...:)
And I havnt done my bike test.. i am thinking about it
When i was a lad:) I always had a little 125, on a provisional license
So i have good bike sense, its just getting round to doing it:)

Do it!

Im going to make it my mission to get us all together for a rideout lol

Uk CloD Clan bikers type thingy

Yeah, and we could all tie water pistols and spud guns to the handlebars.:-D

Oh, forgot haven't got a bike no more.:(

You learn to avoid the potholes,but there is 2 inches of seat foam to soak up the bumps ;)

The Sportster is a '79 Ironhead model, with an SU carb and open bellmouth.
Don't have it anymore but it was fun blipping the throttle in town and spraying raw fuel all over your leg! :)

lol..brilliant

Hah! Love it!

I used to get a kick out of revving a worn 350LC in front of some Cavalier SRi Driver, and filling his windscreen with unburnt 2-Stroke!

Ah, the memories!!:grin:

I remember a frayed throttle cable on my old ex proddy racer 250LC that resulted in me screaming through a village with the throttle stuck wide open and me hanging on in sheer terror.
It wasn't just the bike screaming! ;)

Ah I'm getting all misty eyed for the old days now...

Fantastic!!:grin:

When I had the old Z650, on the way home from work one day, the main wiring loom burst into flames under the tank.

I jumped off the bike, put my visor down and batted the flames out with my hands (with gloves on of course). After the fire had gone out, I thumbed the starter and rode the thing home about 15 miles, with every wire bare copper.:grin:

Although that was nothing to taking a race tuned X7 around Three Sisters go-kart track near Wigan, and at the first bend discovering the front brake had lost all its fluid.

My, that stung a bit. :grin:
