Some of my many toys over the years

My first 125cc on the road


My really dirty R6




My last motocross bike before i retired (2003)


My Speedboat (sold it long ago)


my current ride


and this is first on my like to ride list

 

Speedboat....now that's different!

 

Loved water skiing but it got banned where we used to go locally so sold it. But was not a bad mono skier even if I do say so myself

 

I had a good boat till about 3 years ago. Still miss skiing near the Sheppey bridge in the summer.

This Mini (1980's) cost me so very much time and effort let alone dosh, I was skint most of the 1980's due to this type of toy

 

Yeah... I'm starting to discover that myself

 

Love every minute of it mate, Long time dead n all that

 

My old man use to racing oval hot rods during th early/mid 70's and has got back into it during the last few years he's 62 yrs old now .

Heres a picture of his car with my boys in it;

 

Dont see many Toyota Starlets about nowadays..... Oval racing is great to do but I was not a keen spectator...

 

The old man now has a space framed pug with a 20L red top in it.
As long as a engine is fitted, I like it, be it 2 or 4 wheels

 

Back on topic , a collection of my bikes & cars, not all pictures are mine (most pic's at the mother in laws.

I started a paperround and saved up every penny to by an ex works RM100, I had no prob's keeping up with mates on their 125's


First road bike was a brand new AR50. It didn't stay stardard for long fitted a AR80 barrel, piston, head, carb, sprockets oil pump etc, etc then got bored of that and fitted a 93 cc big bore kit

Then onto an RD125 mk2, fitted racing reeds and an allspeed pipe like this one


Moved onto cars for a while, the first one being a Mk2 1600 Sport Ford Escort like this but mine had a 1675cc fast road enigine fitted


Then came the Mk2 Ford Escort Mexico, this same as this one. The plan was to fit the bigger 20L pinto into it which my dad would have tuned for me but I sold it.


Had a break from fast road cars and bikes for a while until I passed my bike test (ltd power)with the army, then started agian with an Aprilia RS125 (bike on the right of pic


Then up onto it's bigger brother, a RS250


then followed with a cbr600rr and a cbr1000rr.
