Hello From Northam

Post by LuxLuthor »

Hello everyone.
I'm Jerry from Northam, North Devon. I have three bikes at the moment, a lovely 1989 Yamaha FZX750, a 1992 Suzuki GSXR750. This one's a bit special as it's only covered 530 miles from new. As well as road use, it was bought for track racing in mind but at 6 months old, after a spill, it was put into a room and stored up until last year when the owner died and I bought it and the FZX from his widow. All the plastics, mirrors and indicators were removed on the day of delivery (for the racing bodywork) and are as new. The engine was prepared for storage and it didn't take long for a mechanic to get it started. I have now managed to get someone to restore it so it should be on the road by next spring. Last but not least, my ever faithful 1988 C90CUB 8-} . Daft to look at and a total embarrassment to my children, but it's such a giggle and only cost a pound to get it to Scotland and back including a bag of chips on the way home :ymsmug: . I even rode it up to Matlock and back over two days (560 miles) and it didn't miss a beat. I'm looking forward to meeting up, socialising and going on some great rides. :-bd

I refuse to enter into a battle of wits against someone who is unarmed.

It's better to remain silent and be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.
