Forgot to mention the RGV was the last bike I had. This is my full bike history:
My first bike when I was 9yr old Yamaha ty 80

Outgrew it and got this, a montessa Cota 242

Very unreliable so I saved up and got a Yamaha ty250 monoshock

When I turned 16 I sold the yam and bought my first road bike, a Suzuki ts50x. Big bore kit on it so it was good for 55mph.

Traded it in at 17 to buy a Yamaha TZR 125. Deristricted to could just about manage a ton.

Passed my test and got my RGV that I posted earlier.
I'm bikless now as of last month 🙁 my license was to precious unfortunately and I have no self control... well I do have self control but I own bikes to have fun, and I can only have fun one way.
My first bike
2nd bike
3rd bike
and probably my last bike, for now at least.
None of mine in a fit state for the camera.
My '96 blade is under a half inch film of filth and still bearing the scars from hitting a deer.
My '07 YZ250 has yet to be glammed up with a new sticker set. It wheelied off without me on my first excursion, far too powerful. Or to put it another way - perfect!
Just bought a little GPz 500 to rat into work on to save the blade from winter, and it'll never be pretty!

Current one - wanted something more sensible than a race rep!!! Didn't quite work out like that though![img] http://www.gixerjunkies.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=549&pictureid=3999 [/img]

It is just sooo pretty (and ace to ride!)
I just dont understand big naked bikes/hypermotards, surely once you've got to 60 in 2.something seconds you're then left hanging on while the wind tries to pull you off!
Look like a lot of fun though!

Nah, that's not till 90.
Right roads and the SM is the best machine money can buy. Gravely B roads, roads with crappy surfaces etc etc...
Mmmmmmm bantam, I'd need to lose a lot of weight for one of those to make sense though!

I only use it for loafing round lanes in Kerry, day I bought it - first "old" bike - rode it through Wandsworth one way system and down the a3 - that was interesting. C90's are a real laugh though
95 urban tiger since new cant part with it although people have offered huge sums of money for it, all original apart from tyres and 22000 miles on the clock, maybe gets taken out twice a year (pic not mine as not at home), also got 98 XR600 which i cant part with either O and a 1990 TY250 pinkie which is also with me for life, had loads since but nothing I want to hold onto.

On the way to Barcelona from Edinburgh. It was the "Busa" drivers 60th and we had both just been made redundant a month earlier. His birthday was attended by the boss of the company, employees and soon to be redundant employees... Interesting weekend that one!
We tried to find DougBasqueMTB off here at the Spanish/French border but failed.
