If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

What year were the pictures taken , and is that you - Good pics !
I always wanted a GT380, preferred the shape of the cylinder head (RamAir) to the T500 engine, now I just like them all..
There was a really good Moto Guzzi went on Ebay last week for around £4300, single seat with alloy tailpiece, alloy polished tank & clip ons.

Yes they are me. I started racing in 1969 with a BSA MkII Spitfire, raced that for 2 years then got the first T500, so the top 2 pics would be around
'72-'73, the bottom one would be in '74 because I ran a Yamaha TR350 (ex GP) in '75.
I also bought a Suzuki GT550 triple (ram air) in '74 with a view to racing that, but the handling was evil at high speed.
 
OMG!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!! The hair! The trousers! The shoes! What were we thinking in 1974?

Hang on a few more years and those shoes will be back in fashion! The hair.......not so much.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

OMG, wish I'd kept all the 3niftys Gt250's Z1000, 400/4 etc etc...
Bike ownership isn't quite banned here, I'm allowed to have them just not allowed to ride them!
So, fast 7's and a mad v8 off roader instead... some woman just don't get it
1972 V8 Jago
1980 Z750
