I didn't take any pictures of my first bike, a 1980 Honda CB100N, so here's the picture off the front of the Haynes Manual :-
After passing my test on the CB100N, I swapped my old Mini Clubman 1100 Estate for this 1981 Honda CB250RS :-
The 250 wasn't fast enough for me at the time, so was replaced by a 1985 Yamaha XJ900F :-
After a while I fancied a brand new bike, so in 1992 Kawasaki GT550 was procured :-
This was fine, but the search for speed saw me trading it in for a 1985 Kawasaki GPZ750R, which was fitted with the GPZ1000RX engine :-
A 1963 AJS 350 M16 joined the stable for a while, for sunny Sunday thumper fun :-
Due to financial reasons, there was a couple of years break from bikes. This was eventually cured by finding a 1979 BMW R100RT :-
A job change meant the BMW wasn't being used, so was sold. A short while after saw a brand new 2004 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 join the fold :-
As much as I loved the Bullet, a job change meant a daily commute on the M1 which it wasn't happy with, so was replaced by a 1988 Honda CB500 :-
Kept the CB500 for 6 years, but wanted a change. I'd always fancied the look of the Suzuki Savage LS650P, so I bought one :-
...and yes, I really need to rescan some of those old photos :-)
