Back in the day shots

[pistanbroke]

Someone asked if i had some back in the day shots, had a shiftie, got some more somewhere
16 years old and bought an Rd250dx , was a bit rough but fixed it up and learned how too twirl some spanners on it, got some LC pipes off an older mate who had an elsie 250, painted the motor and the tank etc with rattle tins , will have tae find the AFTER pic somewhere


passed my test and bought a 500 triple Kawa, handled like a bucket on ice , worth a fortune now apparently haha

a local blew his elsie tae smithereens so i bought the carnage, sent motor too Mr Stan Stephens and sprayed it wup with rattle tins, came up nice , well i thought so at the time haha

all done

after a few years went four stroke GS1000S

As you can see red an white spray jobs are a theme with me haha, anyone mind the old Alpha 4 into 1 on this bike , was as loud as a jumbo jet, i have more in the hoose somewhere will dig em out and scan em
You can all have a good laugh at my mullet now, mind i was only 19 haha

whoops , under the 'all done' comment should be this pic

Love the pics ,mate must really dig some out of myself weighing 8 stone with a wedge haircut with blonde streaks, still look the same now (LOL) seriously had a GS 750! With an alpha 4/1 and although they were cheap they did sound bloody awesome

just love the old skool pics..and the hair and fashion!

Ah, Alfa 41, that takes me back


I had a Piper 4 into one on a GS550 that was ear bleeding loud, 'it'll be the baffle packing gone' says the old man, so we drilled the rivets and removed the end plug. Baffle, what baffle, there was bugger all apart from the end cap


Wasn't Alfa Codnor's four stroke range? They wern't that bad really, I had my GS1000 back to backed on Ryno Dyno many years back against a Harris and a Marshall pipe, there wasn't much in it and the Alfa sounded a lot better!

Had a piper 3-1 on my XS750. gorgeous triple howl reverberating off the shop windows in town used to have heads turning.
