motorbikes you owned or do .

[tankie]

i had 2 motir bikes i put together myself, one was a bycikle, that i installed a 50cc engine on, took me few weeks to build, i was 13-14 at the time, another one was a soviet 125cc bike that i traded for 5 botles of vodka, it didn,t run, i fixed it, and used it for a year or so, then it got stolen, last one i had was again soviet ural, it was a boxer engined, driveshaft, and it had a reverse gear, it was ment to be used with a sidecart, but i took it off, and never used it. all bikes i had were adsolute crap by us standarts, but in ukraine back in the days, they were not bad at all,
never rode a bike in us, only a scooter, don,t think i get one anytime soon.

Bet you would have loved to chop the bastards hands off huh ?

No **** I had a Sunny n an Activa before graduating on to cars,folks were paranoid against bikes for some reason

I wanted one of them , they looked great , but i ended up with a Centurian tank in Germany instead

I did have one of them (Royal Enfield 350 Intercepter) or more accurately, my father did and it is was the first motor bike I ever rode at about age 12.
It was about a 1950 model and made in England rather than the latter R/E's made in India.
When Dad finally sold it, one of the larger bike dealers in Adelaide paid a lot of money for it and it is now part of a motorcycle museum display.

Before my father was married, his best mate, my Uncle and Dad rode their motorcycles from home to Sydeney and return, a distance in excess of two thousand Km and on roads that by today's standards would have been Goat tracks.
First and last long trip for all of them.
Dad's best mate had an Ariel square 4 and my Uncle has a black Vincent HRD.
My Uncle has refused offers many times for the Vincent and although now in his eighties, still rides it occaisionally.

Cheers.

They still are, believe me.

Thing is, I have seen MANY drivers being cut out of burning cars, how often do you see that happen with a motorbike??

Oh my mum was always worried but my dad used to drive a yezdi 250 for many years. I still remember sitting on the tank in front of him as a kid.
He still calls these new bikes plastic toys. )
But still i know many people who have had accidents.
