Hello

Post by Bikenbass »

Hello everyone.
I'm Mark, new member here and reside near Feltwell, Norfolk, UK.
I'm too old to know better, so I'm reliving my youth via a GT250 A, needs a bit of work, but I love it.
I passed my test in November 1977 on a borrowed GT250 in Ruislip, Middx.
Amazingly, I passed first time. This was in the era of going around the block with the examiner watching from the pavement.
I was going to buy the GT from my friend, it was stolen the day before I was to pay him, never to be seen again.
Still loving the ring a ding ding of that sweet engine, hence my bike.
Best wishes to one and all for a safe and enjoyable Summer.
(Edit to correct erroneous model info.)

Hello Mark, welcome to the madhouse ;) you're not too far from me in Grimsby, and not too far from where we're having our rally in June. So why don't you join us for a day or two and see what you're missing :roll: just search for "2022 rally" for all the info :D
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Welcome to the madhouse Mark.
Don't listen to the others though - get a proper Suzy triple - a GT550!!
Proof that four strokes are over complicated

Don't listen to him Mark, he seems to forget that this is the "KETTLE" clinic :roll: although with all the problems that he has with his bikes, it's lucky for him that we've a 550 section :lol:

Welcome Mark, Alan is the forum joker who knows nothing so don’t listen to him. If you want a real triple you want a Kawasaki H1 triple 8-)
They're rubbish them Jap bikes lad they won't last five minutes! you want to get yourself a nice Royal Enfield!
A quote from my old dad 8-)

I started out with nothing and I’ve got most of it left!
