at last its stopped bloody raining!
managed a spin around the glorious Gower yesterday with smoky Mal and ADE2119 - first trip out for the GT250K which has been off the road since 1978- didn't half feel small after the 750 and 500 though but went quite well.

Nothing better than a bit of two stroke round the Gower; Love to join you later on in the Summer

Great ride out with fellow members of the Suzuki club on Saturday around Oxford area brilliant makes all those winter mights spent fettling the bike worth while.

Re: quick- the sun is out
Nice bike the GT250. I rode a mate's back in 1974ish and it went like a scalded cat.
I think I had been wrongly accused of doing 108 on the M18 on the Crooksified GT550J a few weeks before that.
That worked out expensive. ..............

Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Re: quick- the sun is out
I loved my RD250 in 1976 but I think it would feel too small today - of course we've all grown a bit since those days - I was about 9 stone then and now about 76Kg (no conversion to protect the innocent!)

Re: quick- the sun is out
Your spot on Simon, a friend of mine has a beautiful RD250 and on one run out last year we swapped bikes for a spell. I found the RD absolutely tiny, I felt like the proverbial circus bear and I couldn’t live with the powerband I used to love as a teenager. He on the other hand scared himself silly on my old kettle! not with the power but with the weight and handling or lack of it!swarrans wrote:I loved my RD250 in 1976 but I think it would feel too small today - of course we've all grown a bit since those days - I was about 9 stone then and now about 76Kg (no conversion to protect the innocent!)

I live in Bryncoch with a 750A. I have your phone number and I will phone you in a few weeks.
Perhaps we can have a coffee in JTs to discuss bike disasters and triumphs
