it's just a pic i was gona have the pm's head going through it and blowing up but it never came to anything

so what motorbike you got ? ave had a few roadbikes but due to a young family i thought i'd stick to the off road bikes and have a 1986 gm500 star maico for jumping about on up the bings

 

[RobMac]

What motorbike eeeeeegh
Well several actually I think their into double figures, Retro of course the earliest is a '63' Bonny right up to a '98' Buell and a load of large Suzukis from '80' to '91' and Ive got a old Golf GTi 16v a 1987

I think Ive got a touch of OCD

i'm into the crazy 80's superbikes myself , i've been building a honda cbx for a couple of years now , got as far as stripping it painting the frame , getting the wiring sorted out and engine back in and firing it up . just need to sort out the cosmetic side of things and maybe a new set of forks :roll: more bloody money

my dad had a cbx when i was very young and it seemed huge , now i'm well over 6 foot and it's tiny

 

[RobMac]

CBX 750, 1000 ??????
Yeah Im right into the same era, Ive got GS, GSX, GSXR's I love tinkering as much as riding, Im prety good with my hands but thick as sh#t but Im happy
