Getting back to Bikes !! RFL
SteveD CB500K0:
We all had NU Rider Policies when I was at Uni and rode each other's bikes as a matter of course...
Here's the view outside our shared house in Hove in 1979
Nurse Julie:
Wow, look at those fairings.............and the hairstyles and clothes. The Uni Students I teach sometimes still look similar today, except their trousers are a bit baggier !!! :o :o
Nurse Julie:
Somewhere I have a photo of me and some friends when we were Student Nurses in 1980 outside the Nurses Home at Pembury Hospital in Tunbridge Wells. There were 4 of us with Bikes, I think mine was the KZ 400 in the pic, and my friend had a 400 of some sort and we had the tank resprayed in pearlescent pink with a picture of the Pink Panther painted on it. Seemed a good idea at the time !!!

I too had a NU rider policy, then went to Footman James who eventually hiked up the price, so I moved with Peter James after he left FJ. I pay £156 for 7 bikes including a 1500 'Wing. All on agreed value and totalling nearly £20k, unlimited mileage - but I am VERY old (66 next)
I also have a US import 400/4 included which I bought and registered 10 years ago - a very early one only about 500 numbers in from the start. The DVLA in their wisdom always went back to the beginning of the year on imports, so mine ended up with an M reg. 'Hoist with their own petard' it means it will be tax exempt from Jan 1st 2015 - a result!! I sold this bike to my cousin in Hull about 8 years ago, but bought it back very recently and I'm just tidying it up for next season. I've put my spare brand new Varnish blue tank and side panels on it, plus a brand new front mudguard I've had for 25 years - from DS for about £45 then!
