Going back a few years

I know there was a thread of old photos, sorry could not find it.

Those where the days

 

Opinions never change, no boots, no jacket, jeans, no gloves, not even a helmet

 

When i said could i have a copy...... you could have just mailed me.....

But thanks, ive only got 1 other pic of that fantastic bike

 

and that blue Granada Ghia, 2.8 was My dads. that I clearly used to drive , so we must have been 18 or 19 I reckon

 

Opps sorry about that, to make you feel better

 

Twas back in the day when men were men and so were some of the women ... No namby pamby heated grips, gloves and clothing. You were probably 2 Tom, had no hair and gurgled jiberish. No change there then

 

Kevin - your pic was taken AFTER 1935, right? It's just that by the look on your face, I can only assume that you were never made aware of Preparation H.

Purely for educational purposes, this might help in future;
Preparation H is a brand of medications, manufactured by Pfizer, used in the treatment of hemorrhoids.
Preparation H dates from about 1935. It was originally packaged in a tube like toothpaste, with a similar consistency.[citation needed] The company most recently named Wyeth was incorporated in 1926 as American Home Products, or AHP, and "one of AHP's earliest prizes was the acquisition of a sunburn oil in 1935 that the company transformed into Preparation H, which became one of the world's best-selling hemorrhoid treatments." [1] AHP changed its name to Wyeth in 2002. Wyeth was acquired by Pfizer in 2009. [2]

Is that your twin behind you Carnage?

 

Brett was our hair pre or post mullet in those pics?... Its clear with Carnage's pic it was the pinnacle of good taste. Long live the mullet!

 

Come on BH get those pics of you with 'long flowing curly ginger hair' scanned and posted

 

thankfully i dont have any twins .....some folk say they broke the mould after me, now im wondering just how many of us could actually grow a full mullet now.......i know i could ......bring back the mullet!!!!
but looking at my pic ive realised how my taste in bikes seems to have come full circle .....hmmm or has it really ever changed?

 

thats what i love about these old pics... It can sometimes put things into a diferant perspective.
My CB900 at the time developed into the Hornet then CB1000R which i currently have.. Loved that CB900. 92 bhp i think. I could grow a mullet, very grey one

 

that was suzukis new gs850 at the time and i was in love with it at the bike show in earls court, at the time i was riding a honda cbx550f2 which developed into a family with snotty nosed kids ....a few off roaders and sports bikes and then a bandit 1200 which developed into the current gsx1400 and a ickle zxr400 for track day laughs.....but deep down im still that 18yr old astride that gs850

 

mine developed into these via a multitude of sports bikes and trailies and mototcrossers

 

Fek. If we all go 'full circle' and come back to our first bikes, I'm giving up riding immediately. There really was a reason that Suzuki wrote 'Full Floater' on the swinging arm... although to be fair, this was my second road-legal bike.



This was my first road bike;

 

Was I even born when any of these bikes existed??!!

((couldn't resist - I expect backup Lammy!!))
