New Member Introductions / Been waiting since 1977!
« on: December 23, 2020, 03:09:29 PM »
In 1977 I wanted a FS1E, but 3 people in our area were killed on bikes over a few months, so my dad persuaded me to wait, take my car test & he would then give me his car, a 1968 Beetle.
So I did, thinking in years to come after his death I will have a bike, he is 98 next month!
But having felt I have been faithful to his wishes, I have decided at 59 to get a bike, well I bought 2!
A 1973 Suzuki 125TS, 1 owner from new, 6500 miles on the clock & garaged all its life, absolutely immaculate. This was the bike I wanted if I had got to 17 [or alternatively a Honda SL 125] & dad had been happy for me to have a bike. Plus a Honda XL250R from 1982, imported from Japan earlier this year.
Looking forward to the spring
