Re: Talking Bikes
Crikey AB, you are the first bloke that I ever heard bragging about doing the ton on a Lambretta, what on earth had you got under the seat?Re: Talking Bikes
My hubby and sons have always had bikes. Different types, makes and models. Usually dirt bikes. Hubby is looking at getting a new 'murder cycle' at the moment. It's a bmw thingy. Bet he kills himself. When I was 17 he tried to teach me to ride. I went to fast, hit a cyclone fence and ended up out cold, face down in the dirt. I woke to the sound of the engine screaming and a view of him picking up the b....y bike! Not me! That's when I knew it was true love and he should be punished, so I married him! Serves him right!Re: Talking Bikes
I was a biker in my youth (we all were in those days, no-one could afford cars). All my dad's friends were bikers and they were always buying and selling, so I built up quite a collection. If I had known then that one day they would be classics, I would have put the lot in storage and waited for them to accumulate in value. Until I was about 25, I don't think I ever paid more than £10 for a bike. I had a Vincent Black Shadow which I soon passed on to my dad as I wasn't strong enough to keep the thing upright when it stopped:Re: Talking Bikes
MickB, those are some wonderful looking old bikes. I've seen documentaries about some of them. I used to have converstions with an old security guard that worked for one of my employers. He talked of his youth as a mounted policeman on Indians and Harleys, BSAs and Triumphs. We never think of vehicles as classics when they are new otherwise we's cover them up in a barn as a future investment. Now that would be silly indeed.Re: Talking Bikes
Great photos of your bikes chaps, I lost virtually all my photos when my hard disk crashed and my back up disk was found to be corrupt!Re: Talking Bikes
