Looking back

[Jelster]

As I recently got myself a new PC I was going through the hundreds of images I have and found a few pictures that reminded me of the early days of the "Massive"


Trying to identify these bikes, so here goes (front to back...)

Greg (shiney as always)
Nick (guy in black top with Mark, now has GSXR 600)
Alan (now has SV1000)
Jelster (who ? now has GSXR 600)
Sid Squids bike ????
Also there are:
Mark (as always)
Dan Bennet (blonde guy next to Mark)
Al (guy in blue jacket)
I have the date as 15/8/03

This one's a bit more difficult but....
You can see Mark, Greg, Nick, myself and Dan. In the background there is Rob, Phil, Deb and somebody else in the red leathers. As Rob is fully kitted up it must have been some time ago.

Day before the 2003 rideout we had a cleaning session at my place.

And finally, my wonderful 2001 SVS, which took me 17,000 miles in my first 13 months of biking 8)

Ooh, that brings back memories.

The person in red leathers might be Laura - ?

And as for Loonyville, that was taken after I had that little misunderstanding with the French driver that parted company with his wing mirror. C'est la vie!

Now that number of bikes was the norm for a meet in summer - look at it now! :wink:

Wierd that.

I just got the wolf leathers out the box for the first time in umpteen months then I turned on my PC and they are on screen as well.

Must be summer of 03. A classic year.

might see you lot on Friday as I am making a special appearance for a change.

Well I'm in the first two!

'Old' yellow SV with home-made tribal decals on the fairing - remember?

What was it you put round you fork tubes?

What was it you put round you fork tubes?

I got some of that carbon look sticky backed stuff and used a couple of cable ties for good measure. Good way of protecing those front forks...
