Welcome, there is some great info here, although the inmates are well.......

Where about are you?

LOL,Hi Hueje/ big butt (sorry will write your name down before I post next time) Welcome to the Forum/nut house. Sounds like you're about the same era as me. Could take your Test as I did @ 16yrs. I also ride a 98 storm (Fast RED). What's your location?

hi and welcome hugh, i luv yr name....lol
have a read thru the workshop section if you need answers to any mechanical questions, and when you get a chance post some pictures of you bike, so we can have a good look................

welcome to the club...........passing your test on a Bantam! clearly you are much older than me [not!, but I like to deny it!]......does it count that I raced against bantams when I was racing my MZ single, and I now go trials riding with blokes on Bantam engined specials!

I did mine on a fully faired 250 superdream

Hehe the GT185 is the era of the X7 Know those days well. What stopped you going for the yamy lc's?? They were the dogs B's back then

Hi and welcome.
You have gone and made me go all nostalgic. Passed my test in 1980 on an RS125DX. Couldn't afford the RD's here in Ireland back then.

Welcome a board H/J

WOW that's taking me back, I too took my bike test on a BSA Bantam when I was 17yrs old I also owned a Honda 400/4, but I didn't have a 30yr break, just a Suzuki GS1000 for 20yrs

Re: Thirty year break-
You must have broken that Bantam really well to have taken 30 years to fix it....

im disturbed that you married your children....
