Ahh because we owned them' rode them, drooled over them, loved them and when asleep we even dreamed about them....

I have never ahd a bike i didn't love for one reason or another. Also haven't had a bike that didn't cost me a lot of hard work a sweat to get....

Some people get given things and don't really appreciate what they've got.

Knew it,forgot the HONDA CB250G5,real heap of shit,used to run on one cylinder in the wet until it came to a corner when you`d have the throttle wide open to keep the bastard moving and the second one would kick in to try and kill you.Soon as the road straightened it`d go onto one again.Handling was diabolical and unusually for Honda the paint faded completely in the sun,yes even English sun,after a year.Odd because the previous CB was a great little bike.
