MACHINES I'VE LOVED, OWNED, CRASHED AND SEIZED..

CANT FIND A PHOTO OF MY FIRST BIKE BUT IT WAS A 'SUZUKI TS50'. I OWNED IT FOR A YEAR PUT A 70CC BIG BORE ON IT THEN ALL MY MATES RODE IT AND SEIZED IT. 'WANKERS'.
I DONT HAVE A PHOTO OF MY 'YAM RD 125'. EITHER THAT BIKE WAS ACE AND I DONT REMEMBER EVER SEIZING THAT MOTOR.

YAMAHA LC 350. I RODE THE TITS OFF THIS BIKE AND SEIZED IT TWICE. THIS WAS THE FIRST BIKE THAT I EVER USED ON A ROAD-TRIP(TO THE ISLE OF WHITE AND UP AROUND LONDON). THIS BIKE WAS THE MOST INSANE THING IVE OWNED. I KILLED IT AND STILL HAVE THE SCARS AS A REMINDER.

 I SWAPPED THE BROKEN 'LC350' PARTS FOR THIS KAWASAKI Z550 UNFINISHED PROJECT. AFTER SEIZEING THE CRANK TWICE I CAME TO THE CONCLUTION THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHIT SO I PUT A GSXR1100 ENGINE IN INSTEAD. IT WAS A LOT QUICKER THEN!!!!!!!.

 I WAS A MECHANIC WORKING IN A MOTORCYCLE SHOP WHILE I RESURECTED THE ZED. BUT WORKING IN THAT SHITHOLE PUT ME OFF RIDING.
 FOR 5YEARS I DIDNT OWN A BIKE, I FIXED UP AND DROVE THIS 'VW' AROUND INSTEAD

 THEN I BOUGHT A STANDARD YAM FZ750. THEN MADE IT BETTER. THIS BIKE WAS THE BEST BIKE IVE EVER OWNED. I ABUSED IT, RODE TO HUNGARY AND BACK, IT DID 11.56 ON THE QUARTER-MILE AND ONLY COST ME £600.

 TOWARDS THE END OF IT'S MAJESTIC LIFE IT GREW (OR FEASTERD) INTO THIS RATBIKE.
THIS IS MY LOVELY DAUGHTER 'JO' ON IT, MODELING HER BRITCHOPPER T'SHIRT.(CRIS IRELAND SENT HER THE T'SHIRT BECAUSE SHE HAD WROTE HIM A LOVELY LETTER.
THE BIKE DIED AFTER THE CHAIN SNAPPED AND CRACKED THE ENGINE.

 MY BSA 'A50'. A LOVELY BIKE THAT WAS SO COMFORTABLE AND SOUNDED AMAZING. MY MATES HATED IT THOE AS IT WAS SO SLOW.  

 LOOKS LIKE THE 1970'S BUT INFACT IT WAS EARLY 2000. THIS WAS THE VAN I LIVED IN WHILST I WORKED IN HOLLAND.

MY MK2 FORD CONSUL. IT HAD A 3LITRE V6 ENGINE AND NO SEAT-BELTS AND THE DOORS USED TO OPEN IF YOU COURNERED TOO FAST.
 I CRASHED IT IN THE ICE . I HATE WORKING ON CARS AND IT NEEDED A LOT OF WORK SO I SOLD IT. IT HAD TWIN PIPES WITH VERY LITTLE BAFFLES, IT SOUNDED ABSOLUTELY BLOODY AWSOME.

 MY HARLEY SPORTSTER1200, WHEN IT WAS NEW. ME AND MY WIFE RODE AROUND SPAIN FOR OUR HONEYMOON.THIS IS TAKEN ON THE PLANES OF SPAIN WITH THE PICO'S MOUNTAINS IN THE DISTANCE. THIS IS THE BIKE THAT IS UNDER GOING A FACE LIFT AT THE MOMENT.

 AND MY 1953 TRIUMPH T100. THAT I BUILT..
