Nah leave the rose tinted specs on a while. Especially as you're obviously an insomniac anorak like myself!
Nothing like a bit of dewy eyed nostalgia. Thing is, I lusted after these bikes back then, but I was only 19 and had no money. Last couple of years i've had, and raced, the latest kit, but now i'm solvent I can afford these objects of early passion to satisfy my inner child! Back then I rode all year round, had no car, bikes weren't popular with the suits, and it was a cool way of life. I was lucky (unlucky) enough to be knocked off my KMX 200 though when I was 22, and got about 8 grand as an insurance payout. Straight to the shops, brand new YZF750. Bliss
