Lambretta GP150. Never had a front brake and it use to get quite interesting trying to stop the thing with the rear brake only.

Just the two of us Mods so far then Jon

Interesting thread though.

Started much later than most of you lot so I had a CBR400RR GullArm. Bit of a shock after the test on the CG125 in the morning. Razzing back down the M3 from Woking (Pocket Rockets if memory serves) and I was wondering just how much fun this rev bomb was going to be. Didn't take long to work it all out, what a laugh.

Rgds,

Rob

my first bike in '96 was a fzr400. when i went to look at it to buy it a bird in short shorts pulled up on it & i was in love.

it sounded awsome (like a real bike to me at the time)

then after crashing it on the road a couple of times i booked a track day at snetterton and i knew that this is what bikes were all about. bought the duke & havnt looked back

I had a Hondo C50, it would do an honest 145 mph uphill into a force 8 gale.

Then went onto a DBD34 GS. then a few more nice machines.

Honda CB100N which had no side panels (couldn't afford to replace!) and no stand - I had to lean it into a hedge next to my digs. Neighbours thought it had been abandoned!
Next was a sorry looking Vespa PX125e which I bought "as seen" from Bikerama in Hornsey and had to push nearly five miles home..Has anyone ever tried to use the rear brake on one of those things? - Your'e better off dragging your feet! The bloody thing would bite back hard every other attempt at kickstarting..The scars up me shin!!

Yikes *rack brain*
MT50 then moving up to a MB50, then the usual AR80's and DT125LC then passed test in 1987 and got my first 350LC.
So so many bikes since then.
