[Mrs Reject]

Me and Mitch are twins, both have GT 750's but yu'd never guess they were the same bike. Mine is customised out of all recognition and single seat and Mitch's is a tangled lump of metal still after bike crash - you never know it might catch on!!!
Sprogg rides CM 125 which we borrow occasionally for a laff!

[Andyskwak]

I got an '88 kwak GPZ1000RX, '83 honda VF750, and an '81 Kwak GPz1100 with it's arse cut off! nice rat by the way Blackpig. Beats the CZ125 I started off with.

Firstly, Black pig. how long you had the dr750 and did you get it from england?
I got me self a GSXR750 Slabby, in process on getting to satin black. i have to do it in stages cos use it nearly every day.
I also have a gsx 750 chop, just picked it up in a deal with some for my gsx 1100es. gonna strip the fooker and do it up nicely.

[rommel]

I was riding a Honda cb900 chop until I found probs and later a 1982 xv 750 Yamaha Virago until the starter decided to shear its shaft so I am back to driving an ugly lump of metal commonly known as a car!!!! :o

[Bosun]

xvs1100c is my bike, on lookout for middleweight cheap bike as well

[Mrs Reject]

Suzuki Marauder 125.... my first bike...

I think they are great!!! Some of the 125's you can get now are brilliant, there are a few round here that I've mistaken for harleys et al as they've gone past at lightning speed and it's only when you get up close and have a good look at them you realise they are 125's especially when there are no L plates on 'em!
I've seen 125 chops and all sorts! How pleased would I have been with one of those at 18 or whatever?

[Mitch]

By 'eck, when I were a lad, I had to make do with a matt black (black?????) CG125, with a knobbly rear tyre and massive pullbacks!! Brilliant at offroading however - I remember racing this other kid round a rally field on our CG's (his was the later brazillian model) three weeks after breaking my collar bone (in the process of writing off my brand new H100sII - I knicked the CG off me dad just so I could go to a rally! Kept it for about six months after that!) :D

[Rabid]

Nice to see an AR125 again, that was the first bike I ever dropped and it didn't even belong to me my mate was livid. Ahhhhhhhh happy days. :rolleyes:

[Urban Terrorist]

I've had it 6 yrs now, it's slowly getting worse!! I've blown it up twice, first due to lack of oil, then my first attempt at tuning!! Got it sorted now though, not sure what it's kicking out, but we had it up to 110mph through Hatfield Tunnel!! Hopefully once I replace the clutch basket, I'll get a bit more out of it :D

Then, might fit homemade nitrous kit to it :eek: :eek:

[Jonnyfp]

I am mostly ridin stuff like this :D

[MrFluffy]

listy time, ive done this before and probally alienated people, so always worth repeating the exercise :p
Sp370, but with placcy guards, no panelwork and total loss eleccys, shiney pipe etc etc, dog slow and reliable.
kawa gt750 (the chairs in the field abandoned so its solo now)
A very hairy bottomed gs750 streetfighter (when motor is not in pieces(not often))
a stock tidy gpz turbo (well, mostly stock... you cant SEE any of the mods..)
a tube framed streetfighter gpz turbo
a bimota yb8e 1000

Just could never bring myself to sell these over the years because mostly I did all the work myself and got a bit attached although theres been other bikes in between like y'do, and I doubt all that lot put together would cost much different to a used harley anyway.
The gt's days are numbered tho and its the most std of the lot, but ive been saying that all summer. And I recently killed my ft500's frame so until I find a suitable donor thats out the list too.

Im one of them gits that half of you wouldnt wave to, unless i was riding one of my other bikes that day. Though I do wear jeans and a black leather as riding gear. Although it seems now I must purchase floppy ears for my kraft to achieve true annoyance :p

Sounds childish i know, but would you wave at us?

[Crofty]

Yamaha XJ700 X Maxim X. it's blue and running like a rubbish thing. I replaced the coils before, but had to "persuade" them to fit, by drilling through the lamina through the middle, and I think one of them's buggered up again (either that or lack of compression, so I'm praying it's the coil) But when it's running right I'm sorting out the rear indicators (too big) and various cosmetics. I'll post a pic when I downsize it. Dan

[MrFluffy]

Sounds childish i know, but would you wave at us?
Yes, apart from when im needing to control the bike of course or someone catches me really unaware but thats the same for everyone isnt it and what I put 80% of people not waving back to. As for this collective "us" business , and am I a "us" when Im riding the gs/gt? You see where im going with this... Ive had chops, ratbikes, sidecar outfit, pink superdreams etc so I dont do snobbery but I do find it coming the other direction quite often. I took the bimota to the bulldog one year and heard a LOT of snide "cheque book wanabee/biker" comments, by people who looked like they'd come out of a "biker" mould. If anyone of them had bothered to ask they'd have found I just rode it 200 miles (and it isnt a comfortable distance bike) and was clocking 800 miles a week using it to go to work and stuff at the time and had been riding since i was 15.
Anyway wrong place for this rant...

Same here apart from ownin a bimota ya posh get. lol
I draw the line at scooters and i know i should'nt sumat to do with wearin trainers and shell suit bottoms just makes me respect em less.

Never forget a time in bewdley here in the midlands, two bikes parked next to each other one a 916 senna. the othe a GS850 mint it was. The one that interested me the most was the GS 120,000 miles apparently and still on the original bores. the bloke came over to me and thought i was takin the pish.

Also in the process of building a Suzuki X7 streetfighter



weeee with "spannies" on as well excellent, brother just sold his X7 :( tooo many leaks from tank and a replacement difficult.. spoilsport..ace noise though

[Urban Terrorist]

Yep, last count my tank had 24 pin prick holes and 4 major ones in it!!

[Rabid]

have you had a ton out of your X7 yet i had one of those and it didnt matter what fettling i did t it 85-90 mph was the best i ever had. :rolleyes: it was red and went through piston rings like nothing on earth.

[Jonnyfp]

This is my baby.
Only KnN'd so far but i'm after some scorpion cans as i want to keep the twin exhausts. that will be quickly followed by a dynojet.
When i first got her it felt like the front tyre was low on pressure, reading thru magazines i found out this was the way they handle, taking the tank off revealed a meaty spinal column. you could smuggle immigrants in it ffs. :eek:
But you soon get used to it and it was'nt long til i started flinging around like the bandit i had previously.
Love the yellow now. Its project name was T309sp the sp bit means speed(triple)
I think it looks better than the 509s but another world in performance. bloody quick to 60 mind. :D

[Friar Tuck]

:o I haven't ridden it yet!! Had it 6 yrs now, only got it running last month or so!!

It should do more than a ton, it's bored out to 275cc, stage three tuned by stan stephens. See how it goes once I get it done!!

God, that brings back memories. I bought an X7 for 5p (yes, 5p). It was in bits. It got taken to Wales and lovingly rebuilt by my brother-in-law. Who flogged it on because he wanted an MTX. Git ;)

You want some cheap cans and link pipes , then you should speak to Mr.Madden ( of the Norton in this month's 100%)
He fabricates for a lot of the leading can companies and will save you a few quid. All his cans have the correct markings too !
tel 07930306009 , tell him chaz sent you.

[Sir Ewok]

Unfortunately a dire lack of funds, made worse by a fortnight in Thailand, means the trike is not on the road yet. Most of my cash went into a business venture that lets me do 2 full time jobs and keep me head above water. Hope to have it running and mot'd ready for Faro next year. Hopefully I will get closer to Portugal than the M5 like last time.
