Bike you most regret selling

My first go on a "big bike" was a yam 250. A mate i was pestering said ok, but take yur time. I proped my fizzy against the wall (engine still glowing cherry red from the chip shop thrash) cocked my leg over the yam and rode around the corner and then nailed it to the stop on an A road :biggrin: I still had a few months to go before being 17 years old and moving on to my 250. not a yam alas but a honda 250 g5. at a much later date I owned a air cooled yam 400 in yellow with black speed stripe. still have pics of that. will have to scan them.

 

:upyeah: Excelent pic of your bhaja brown fiz. I will post one of my fizz as soon as i find it

 

If this works ..heres a pic of me at 16 with my candy gold 73 fizz and a pic of a 73 candy gold I bought last year. check out the big hair and FLAPPING FLARES!

 

yes Rich, the peds did seem fast after a push bike. But they dont nearly 40 years later after owning some big stuff. still love the fizzys. in the owners club. and yes your right buy restored it cheaper in the end:upyeah:

 

My first big bike, wish i'd kept her

 

I regret selling my Triumph Daytona 650. I loved that bike and when the dealer came to collect it he dropped it loading it on the trailer and wrote it off. Traded it in for a Ducati 1098 but would have preferred to have kept the Daytona...

 

I wish I could have kept the 650 and brought the 1098 buy that's life!
I think I would buy another as it was such a rideable bike. Never happy with what I have I get bored after about a year and want to change.

 

Here was my last Mistress........the MV! The 998 was the other mistress

 

My 350LC, sold it back in 89 as the other half at the time wanted a better car, fool as as I was I gave in, missed bikes again bought another one found a new girlfriend who loved bikes.
The old LC is still being taxed as well and I bet its worth more than the £700 I sold it for.

 

I don't regret selling any, they were all a learning curve which have lead me to my super speed triple :upyeah:

 

All of them:frown:

 

All the past bikes are missed for various reasons & in an ideal world i would of kept them all, but if i was to name one that i wish i had kept it would have to be this one.........



She was nursed back from the almost dead, stripped, cleaned, bits painted, bits replaced. She was a snappy dresser & all round good egg.... Loved her!
