Have they got to be actual pictures of your own bike? Cause I can't do that.

Then moved on to these, our motorbikes and our car. Henry the Honda CG125, Sylvie the SV650S and Rosie the Kawasaki GTR1000. With Toyah the Corolla parked up there.

The GTR is being rebuilt very slowly and in time it will be back on the road and I can ride her too then.

Well first came one of these Suzuki gp100, brand new cost about £700, got smidsy'd


http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/Bikes%20general/gp100.jpg


bit of a break then came one of these, honda vf 500


http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/Bikes%20general/800px-1984_Honda_VF500F_Interceptor.jpg


shorter break, got one of these, Kawasaki vn 800 classic, without sissy bar and leather panniers, lol


http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/Bikes%20general/kawasaki_vn_800_classic_2000_3.jpg


traded that in for this, yamaha tdm 850,


http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/Bikes%20general/1555.jpg

was a nice bike but had to sell to put money towards the house, then a year and a half ago got this, can you guess what it is?

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/Bikes%20general/leeming51.jpg

found out the sv wasn't quite there in the comfort dept, so got this after a year,

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/Blackpool%20Sealife%20Center/RIdetosealifecenterBlackpool113.jpg

Triumph sprint st 1050 06, but alas i didn't have shares in bp (used a bit of oil, it did), so now have this, Triumph sprint st 1050 08 plate

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/andysv/sprint%20st/newsprint014.jpg

Will keep this for a while hopefully.

A fair few of these pics are filched off the net because it tajkes too long to find them amongst all the crap I have on my pc, and not all my pics are on flickr

I started my biking career on this same bike (my sister has restored it):

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/3326126225_7410131087.jpg
Followed by one of these

http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/classic_bikes/yamaha_rd250e_1980.jpg

Followed by 29 of these... yes, 29 of them

http://www.suzukix7.com/RD400%20Brochure.gif

The odd one of these

http://www.zweitakte.de/knowhow/YamHistory/200/rd200_1e8_79gr.jpg

in late 1981 I smashed myself up very badly on one of these (A red one) whicjh put me in hospital for 4 1/2 months

http://www.kawasaki.co.th/ka/History_kawa_files/9%20Six,%20GPZ%20and%20turbo/19%20KE100.jpg



I recovered and bought one of these cheap

http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/suzuki-rebel-t350.jpg

Had this for fun and giggles

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/165/359884983_5df04c985d.jpg

Then I went upmarket and had a few of these

http://www.bestmotorcyclepictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/1981-yamaha-rd350lc-picture.jpg

After a while I decided 4-strokes were the future, so got one of these

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/154/359884991_55a622f212.jpg

but it was crap so got rid in favour of this

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/131/359884996_dcef49616b.jpg

Then decided to try something different, one of these



http://www.albatrosmt.narod.ru/temi/oboi/Honda/Honda-VF400F-1983.jpg

Quickly followed by two of these

http://www.echappementmoto.com/IMAGES/echappementmoto/HONDA/VF%20750%20F/Honda%20VF750F%201983%20echappement%20origine.jpg

But they were too unreliable so I got the later version

http://www.buxleyfarmhouse.com/images/VFR%20FJ+FK.jpg

loved it then chopped it in after 2 1/2 years against a

http://www.motorbikespecs.net/images/Suzuki/GSXR_750_L_M_90-91/GSXR_750_L_M_90-91_1.jpg

I got married, sold the gixer and settled for a while but still owned this for 13 years

http://www.bikebreaker.org/Images/Ebay/RD250D.jpg

and a few of these went through my hands in that time as well

http://www.phoenixmotorcyclesltd.co.uk/images/stocklist/rd400_02.jpg

Found the cash to buy this

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/157/359915675_917314cf9e.jpg

Then one like this

http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2001models/2001-Honda-VTR1000F-Firestorma.jpghttp://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery/Honda%20VTR1000F%20%2001%20%202.jpg

Then money problems forced me to sell and buy this (I still had some RDs as well)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3550/3432328330_8abcf7dd4c.jpg


then wanted a bigger bike, so sold the KR1 and these

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2602/4203901979_2e4ce22606.jpg

to buy another one of these identical to the first one I'd had

http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2007%5C12%5C13%5Cbikepics-1114710-full.jpg

Traded up to one of these

http://p1.bikepics.com/pics/2006%5C10%5C08%5Cbikepics-696759-800.jpg

Then one of these, which I loved

http://blogs.msdn.com/blogfiles/charles_sterling/WindowsLiveWriter/Crunch_1164D/1000thunderace%5B1%5D.jpg

Which was followed by

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/159/359915688_b0d5f1ba13.jpg

and then this (complete with £4500 worth of trick parts)

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2435/3870420688_37fbcb2b4e_o.jpg

then this

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3189/2777185899_beb7216a6b.jpg

while at the same time owning this as a hack

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/209/448445237_cf6709ea23_o.jpg

which was swopped for this which I broke for spares

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/216/469137582_e0bad6b2dc_o.jpg

Then I got this as a write off and rebuilt it to this standard

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2076/2221097800_5a985662be_b.jpg

and then bought this

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2450698860_c5d3e79ab6_b.jpg

which I sold to Rai86 to buy my current road bike, which is this

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4027/4232948151_c49b4cda7f_b.jpg

but I also own this for fun on track

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2799/4173073110_a6750c1562_b.jpg

and one of these for a bit of classic dirty fun

http://www.suzukicycles.org/photos/suzuki-history/1978/1978_hustler_TS250_450.jpg

as well as the last one of these I'll ever own, in bits spread here there and everywhere

http://www.rd-club.it/joomla/images/stories/rd400.gif

There have been other bikes in between and in addition to the ones listed here, such as

The ZX7R I recently sold to my housemate which will be on track next year

My TZR250 which I bought July 2007 as a race bike. Eventually road registered it on a "daytime mot" April 2009, had loads of fun on it, but the front sprocket came off, locking the back wheel and spat me off. Now sold :(

I love this thread. I've had to do a bit of digging and fill in a few blanks as most of my photos are still back in Canadia, but:
I got a '72 TC90 for Xmas when I was about 10 (best Xmas present ever!):
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/1_72TC90.jpg

When I was 16 I bought one of these ('83 VF750F):
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/2_83VF750F.jpg

Which I soon replaced with a very slightly used '88 GSXR750. After a couple years I modified the subframe so I could fit an '89 750LTD tail:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/3_88GSXR750.jpg

The GSXR was soon joined by an '85 RZ500:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/4_85RZ500.jpg

And the pair of those were joined by an '89 FZR400:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/5_88FZR400.jpg

Eventually those 3 bikes were all sold off and replaced by this '94 CBR900RR:

And then I spotted the upcoming '98 TL1000R (my first brand new bike) at the bike show, so the CBR got traded:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/7_98TLR1000.jpg

I kept the '98 TLR for a year. Loved the bike, but had some issues with the dealer/warranty, so for a small premium I swapped it for a '99 TL1000R:
http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/8_99TLR1000.jpg

After selling the TL I took a break to do some travelling, and when I got home I began to collect the bits I needed to build a TZ250 with an XR650L motor (this was about 95% complete before I had to sell it to move here):

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/9_TZ650b.jpg

Foolishly thinking I didn't have enough on my hands with one large project, I bought this 81 RD350LC in bad shape. Don't have many pics, but I added a tuned YPVS motor, early R6 forks with custom upper triple and Renthals, TZ-3MA swingarm and F4i shock. It was about 70% complete when I sold it to move here:

While working on the other 2 bikes I was getting the urge to ride again, so decided to add a brand new '05 Husaberg FS650 SM to the stable. This was the most entertaining bike I've ever owned:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/11_FS650b.jpg
After selling off almost everything I owned and moving to the UK, I soon found myself in possesion of this gem - an Alice Racing KTM576 (70hp!), which was stolen last year, has been relocated, and is currently living in impound in Manchester:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/12_KTM576SMb.jpg
Not satisfied with just the odd trip to the track to ride the KTM, I decided on an SV650, bought pretty much standard (shown with Mrs G), but I quickly started to modify it:

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c22/bigfastyellow/BikeHistory/13_05SV650c.jpg

Then added this little DT to the stable, so I had something for the wife to learn offroad on. It was stolen along with the KTM (they left the SV alone?!):

And now the garage sits empty, awaiting the return of the mighty KTM :)

Yamaha JogR 50, was great my first ped, had a bit of derestriction done but wasnt owned by some chav first and totaly recked, got it from my dads mate with about 1500 miles on the clock who owned from new on 55 plate

http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/567/26012008141.jpg (http://img42.imageshack.us/i/26012008141.jpg/)

My Gilera DNA 50, 06 reg something like 8k miles when i got it, but my mate had an insurance pay out on it and got the bike back so loads of damage, but checked at work and it hadnt been recorded as written off bonus! then one day it wouldnt start, i payed £100 quid for it, £30 on a ignition coil later hello bargin bike then got panels for it, the bike probably owed me £200 all in which i made a profit on when i sold it, did 50mph every where which i thought impressive.

My CBR125, my first bike i ever did a wheely on :cry: shame it was an accident, only been riding it for 5 minutes and i happened to be pulling out of my estate and went across two lanes heading towards a barrier, how i saved it i will never know, got it for £1000 damage all down the right hand side, working for a honda dealer i got all the parts i needed for around 200 quid, then sold it on when i got my SV for a nice profit, had only done 6k miles as well

http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/7101/dscf1155i.jpg (http://img203.imageshack.us/i/dscf1155i.jpg/)

My SV as it is now

My FZR400 3TJ which had dropped a con rod when i bought it, decided to strip it and sell the parts off, again made a bit of a profit :p

Still looking for my next project, and hopefully my new road bike sometime next year :D

I had one of these too, christ only knows what possessed me because they were crap new, let alone 10 years old. Thankfully some scumbags nicked it three weeks later. I almost cried with happiness.

I know what possessed me, I rescued it from a shed and got it for next to nowt. Was a damn sight quicker than an MTX125 though. First bike I ever pulled 100mph on.

Try to keep more pics than words, following on from Quiffs "From this to this" thread

Give us a picture history of your bikes. Here's mine



Good idea!!

-Le Mans I, I fullfilled a dream in 1999, the most classic motor I can imagine
-1100 sport ie, 2001 the best motor I had, what a machine.
-GT750, in 1984, I couldn't even ride it properly, I was way too unexperienced.
-Jawa, my first motor in 1983, love at first sight. ( I had hit a car and the forks got deformed, later we simply bended them back in shape)
- Moto Parilla, an italian moto without papers, but I rode it illegally, for fun in our village.
- R50 bought it in 1986, the motor which "taught" to ride.
-V50III, 2004, winterbike and even with -10 celsius I used it, I loved this one.

missing photos: XT500, XS750, Honda 750four, Jawa 634, Honda Dominator.

Minus the bum-Bandit, and not in that order. The GS500 is my mum's but she doesn't ride it, and I do/did whenever my SV broke (often).

First, a BSA 50cc, which I can't find a pic of;
Then;
KX125 (IIRC, net pic. Mine was red and mud coloured)

http://www.twnclub.ch/classic_trial_files/Casalborgone2007/450/354%20Cota%20349%20rosso.JPG

In between, around same time
CR250 (net pic, seized up a lot)
http://www.spaguru.net/images/1989_CR250_in_the_Driveway.jpg

CR500 (net pic, seized up and threw me off. Bonkers b*stard thing, swapped it to get my 250 back from the guy I sold it to)
Can't find a pic of the one I had but it was from 87-88 time.

Then nothing for a few years... Until...

Snarling beast of powah!!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/CG125_1.jpg
Complete with wrong way up gearbox and KMH speedo :rolleyes:

Then the joys of a license and onto...
FZR-EXUP (like this one, but naked, gloss black and tuned to death)
For a week...
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery%20%20A/Yamaha%20FZR1000%2089%20%203.jpg

Then, deciding insurance was a good idea... Enter... the SV650 :)
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/loubi650/AR07/ARo7sunset.jpg

Which gets ridden a lot. :)

In between, had this;
(utter dog which liked to fall out of gear, randomly break down and wobble a lot)
http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb45/loubi650/cats%20and%20dogs/431.jpg

This madder than Mad Murdo McMad GSXR SRAD, which I was going to put on the road properly, but tried it once and decided it would kill me in short order. So I sold it to Tim In Belgium who promptly crashed it and set it on fire :(

Annnd one of these, but in black. Restored, rode once and sold. Wasn't what I was looking for.

Fingers crossed getting rid of the YBR and replacing it with an SV1000......
