hi pappa, i had a thruxton bonnie thought it was fast then i took out a 900cc kwaka in about 1974/5 then i realized what speed was . open face helmet eyes running. still wear open face ,use a spanish moped hat seems they leave me alone looks like a cut away. but cheaper.

My first road bike was an ex-GPO telegram Bantam complete with legshields. 55mph flat out. Passed my test and went out and bought a Vincent Black Shadow, 56mph in 1st ! Part exchanged that for a BMW/Steib sidecar outfit which cost £430 in 1967. I struggled to get £100 for the Vincent. Recently one was sold at auction for £67k.
I now run a Goldwing, 1823cc flat six with reverse gear( which I can assure you is not a gimmick) Will comfortably do 5 or 600 miles in a day.
I also have a Gilera 180cc Runner scooter which does 0 - 60mph in under 6 seconds. That frightens more than the Goldwing.

wish my drifter had reverse gear specially on a slope. i always wanted the f6c valkarie but didnt like the price. i do like my suzuki tu 250g its one of only 6 in the country only one other oronge n white one. bought by chance its really japan home market only. i would like to do route 66 on it as its only a single and would be a challenge. anymore up for a trip? cheers alan.
