Me and some of the lads have been remembering the Days back in our Teens and got talking about our FS1Es and AP50s etc, I got all nostalgic and have just bought a basket case of evil bay, you know that feeling that starts with Yeeeeeees and then sinks to oh shite, that's where I am now  |

"i think it was more about the freedom they gave you, not sure i would like to ride one now  "
I have more Bikes than I need really but still enjoy them, I'll arrange to get the FS1E picked up from Kent and I'll do it up, probably keep it for my Nephew  |

Never had the atraction when I was younger, but since a Holiday in Key West where there was a Biker rally, Ive had a feeling that Id like to have a Harley, like I was told by one of the bikers "its not about speed its about enjoying the ride" Those Guys loved their Harleys and owning one was more a way of life. |

I got my brand spanking new GSX250 and passed my test on it in 1979, I think a couple of years before they changed the rules.
I was a bit too big to ride a 50 in them days, so I'm glad I did  |

I had to google FS1E - or whatever it is/was - and then discovered to my horror that I'd stumbled into a dreaded ** BIKER'S THREAD ** .... of fuck, shit and bollox!!! How do I get out of with my gonads intact??
I've never owned a bike, never wanted to... cos it don't have a fookin CD player or a drink's holder for my McDonald's coffee.  |

Yep, its the same over here too.
There's a world of difference between Bikers and Motorcyclists.  R

my first bike was AR50 at 16. Had it a total of 3 weeks till a women decided to pull out of a junction and kill my bike. Decided to wait the few months and get the AR125 at 17, and bought GPX250 when passed test. All the local lads wanted RD350's, but i was too short so could never have one... unless it had stabilisers, which does tend to ruin the street cred lol |
