Ok here goes:
1982 - Simpson 50, dad was an MZ dealer & it was free Ok - my mates had my life...especially when I carried out the factory de-restriction which to their mirth was simply to chop 30mm off the exhaust downpipe and slide the silencer forward...my mother bought me a leather jacket with tassles !!! and my gran bought me a barber jacket aaaargh.. I had a really hard year in 82'
1983 - same bike but fitted with ETZ (MZ not yam)125 barrel, piston, head and carb - my mates still ripped the mick something rotten, but it was quick (honest) for what it was.
1984 - MZ ETZ250 - dad was still an MZ dealer - toerag made me get this for a few months, and I had to pay for it !! total embarassment
1984 - Superdream 250 - chopped the MZ at the local Honda dealer coz I just couldn't take the ribbing anymore, this really pi**ed my dad off, toured France on this bike - ultra reliable...
after that I've had a variety of jap and italian stuff, I'm currently running an RSV1000 Factory and an 851... |
Respect
It takes great inner strength to admit that kind of thing
