What bikes have you owned??

[sugilite:Me]

Actually when I look at the photo, it looks like mine was the long pipe model.
What you reckon ?

Having a close look at that pic, it is actually one of the original 20 short pipe model RZ500's. It is RARE! My understanding is they bought a few hundred of the long pipe ones in...
How did you get on kick starting it in the snow?

I reckon... there is a KBer just up the road from me with two of these puppies, I have been dropping the hint for a ride... BUT HE'S NOT LISTENING

Would he part with one?
There is a old vic club head banger stalwart by the name of Mike Vash, when he saw mine all those years ago he used to hug the tank, I kid you not!
He finally saved enough to buy one and after a few years it got pinched, I felt so sorry for that guy and I told him I would always keep an eye out for one if it came up for sale?

errr,...I remember that clearly,...I counted them,...about 30 !!!!
"cause it's a short high-mounted kickstart I was getting knackered by the time she started !!
My friend's RG500 took the same though !!
Now,..all of those Gixxers and such were buggered before the buttons were pressed. They all needed battery jumped from the truck there. My mate and I took great delight in that one !!

I do regret selling her. Never mind, in this day and age if I still had the RZ my licence would be a distant memory.....
