Hi, I'm Tim
I started off with a Honda C100 as a teenager.
I had a Suzuki 50cc motorbike in my early 20s that I used to commute across London in the snow one winter until the rear wheel fell to pieces.
I used to ride a Honda ST70 in the South of France. quite fashionable back then.
I imported the ST70 into the UK in the back of a Peugeot 205 and started commuting from Hampton to Harrow and Wembley
Passed my test and got the train to Birmingham to buy an old style upright Honda Spacy, lovely bike.
Eventually replaced it with a foot forward Honda Helix, another lovely bike.
Eventually replaced it with a Burgman 400, very nice bike.
Eventually replaced it with the first of 4 or 5 Honda 600 Silverwings, commuting, touring. track days, pan European touring
Had Gilera GP800 which I took around Nurburgring. Very quick but it had to go as not robust enough..
Back to the Silverwing, heavily mod'ed until...
Became a Burgman 650 convert. Great bike, I'm on my third, which got knicked...
See my post looking for help sorting the ignition wiring...
Thanks and best
Tim
