dont suppose you have any electrical spare parts for the DT?

Nah, unfortunately not. Always looking around for stray bits myself, but there's not a lot going

FXR150 - And it was awesome because I had a freaking motorbike!!

[Blackshear]

Little Yammy Peewee 50 when I was 7.
Xr80, KDX200, GSF250, TL1000s.
Who'd have thought a tiny little PW50 could get so exciting?
That takes care of the big 4 brands.

First bike I rode was a Suzuki TC100, which I rode the length of My cousins driveway before flipping it in the middle of the road taking off
The first bike I owned was an '82 YZ125j

At 16 in the UK a Yamaha FSIE (fizzy) expansion chamber - clip-ons - single ring race piston - ported head - sinsle seat conversion - marlboro paint scheme..... saw 64mph on the speedo once (100 kph) Used to burn plugs out about every 100 miles...never melted the lightweight piston just the plugs (used to carry 2/3 spares in the tool kit)
Went for a 250 MILE ride on it one sunday afternoon coz i was bored. A gale force headwind on the way home with rain..... the longest day.
Always wanted a Garelli Tiger but they were like "rocking horse shit"

A Yam RD350lc which had 250 stickers on..... fooled my parents and the law for 2yrs with those stickers.
A Kawa GPZ900 known as "the hinge" due to the fact that the chassis felt like it had onein the middle. Fast bike but hated corners.
A Gsxr 1100L which i drag raced - road raced - toured europe on - and crashed more times than i can imagine. An awesome machine.
One of the first Ducati 916,s spent more time fixing it than riding it - took it on a europe trip once...soon as air temp went above 30deg it refused to start..... try constanty bumping a v twin in leathers and 40deg heat.. never again
Aprilia RSV ..... faultless
Triumph 675.... raced it - crashed it... currently re-building it... love it.

Have rode some other awesome rides including a GSX1500 spondon turbo with nitrous - road legal - wth flat bars...MAD (wheelies....oh wheelies)
A Hayabusa turbo with 500hp...... fucking MAD
A ex LAPD MotoGuzzi 850 T3 (like the won on CHIPS tv show) around western australia - Borrowed it from a mate in Perth for a few days - gave it back 26000km &5 months later (a good mate)... only problem was a broken clutch cable. (gained a lot of respect for guzzi,s on that trip)

Would love to have them all in a garage to bring back some great memories..... except the gpz 900 that was piece of shit
