Motorcycle memories

They both look extremely uncomfortable, especially the first one which also suffers from terrible videoing.

They don't have seats as such.

@Mudfinger
Husqvarna still makes several MX bikes

Because he did the video.....

@divegeester
Kawasaki made a 350cc triple in the early '70's and later in the decade made 400cc triples. Both worth plenty now for good ones. The 380 you're thinking of was the Suzuki GT380 'ram air' 2-stroke. Due to lack of funds I went down the cheapo brit route at the time - tatty bantams, buggered Triumph tiger cubs etc- good for falling off in fields but in reality no match for Jap tackle. My bikes now are a '71 Ducati 350 desmo 'silver shotgun' and a yellow '74 250 desmo. Drooled over these as an impoverished kid but now lucky enough to own them.

Who he has or had a bike.

In the past I’ve owned:
Honda CB175
Suzuki GSX250
Honda 250N Super Dream
Harley Davidson Fatboy

I had the loan of a big bike for a few months in 1986 although I hardly used it much.

YouTube : Suzuki GSX-R750

I remember them as being dangerous when driven by young men or near children. My brother had a Norton Atlas 750. I was 12 and sat on it and it tipped over smashing the headlamp. My brother said I was lucky it hadn’t injured my leg. My other brother fractured his skull on his bike after speeding and hitting a turning lorry. His friend hit his mouth and lost his front teeth. Their biker friend crashed while giving a friend a lift who sadly died. A woman I worked with told me her husband lost a testicle after a bike crash.

Well I, for one, will make a point of never getting a motorcycle and asking any of your family or friends of friends of yours to either try it out or come ride with me. 😉

They grew up to become sensible car drivers thankfully.
What is it with boys and speed eh? Now it’s crazy car drivers.

Just a joke. It was a terrible vid....

If you're not riding a Harley, then you're not riding a motorcycle.

Crotch rockets are for girls and wannabees.
