Renegade Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I've still got the 2 Kawasaki ZRX 1200 s, the red ZRX I've had for nearly 20 years, a bikes before this lot, but we didn't take many photos in the sixties early 70s. I loved all of these bikes except the Yamaha XS 750, that pile of shit tried to kill me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I was going through some old photos and found these lovely photos of my first bike, Betty. The old CB650 fits right in with the new "modern retro" look. Fun to see 25 years ago I was hanging out with my bike and a wrench, glad to have found this happy place again. (Had to giggle at the sticker I put on the one photo) . Always having a party! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 This was my first road legal bike after passing my test at 18 years old. I bought it part built when i was 17 and finished it off just before i passed my test, i loved riding it about me and the wife spent a lot of time on it. A bigger motor would have been nice but i probably would have killed myself i was daft enough on this 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
