I remember a Harley Dealers opening near me in the 70`s and thinking "if motorbikes looked a lot better I would have one" .... this was at the age of 7 or something . Back in those days it really did look like the Ogri cartoon strip , bikes leaking oil all over the place and fusty looking guys with tassled jackets and beards . Then one day , in the 80`s , I heard a crackle and rasp and turned around to see a local lad with his tart on the back of an RD500 , and I knew from that moment on that this was a one way ticket . I eventually got my first bike which was a TZR125 , which was then replaced with a newer one with a Stan Stephens Stage III tune and Swarbricks exhaust ....... I am so glad I grew up when I did , 2 stroke bikes were an absolute pain in the butt to be honest but fond memories , and they taught me a thing or Two about home maintenance .

I always wanted a Simpson lid as well , I eventually had 2 or 3 then some stupid Car program came along and ruined it all
