The 4th shot is the B120 ( 3rd was Suzuki 250 Super Six 1967 ! ) probably what you meant - I bought it as a commuter bike after the 250 died and part exchanged it when I bought the Bonneville !

Got it. I think I was confused because my 120 was the same ‘orrible blue grey colour……did yours have the “toe and heel” gear change lever?

Lambretta ---aaaaargh! 65 minutes on the naughty step Sir - utterly disgraceful!

Yep, you can always tell a lambretta rider….they have nothing between their legs……

You have to start somewhere - not ashamed of it, commuted to work in London and took my girlfriend ( now, still my wife! ) on holiday to Weymouth for a week.......
Started off red and white and I turned it into a black SX200 mean machine :tears-of-joy: :tears-of-joy:

After a couple of years forced absence from riding, I bought this old girl for a bit of fun when I get the chance!

Added it to my photo collection of every bike i have owned - some are 'stock' photos as the originals have long gone![ATTACH=CONFIG]n1174832[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1174833[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1174834[/ATTACH]

Is that a B120 I spy in the third shot? If so (picture is a little small to be sure) it looks just like the one I learned to ride on…..and passed my part one and two tests on.

It's getting better, not only have i found a site for like minded modeller's but it's got a lot of biker's too!! I have been riding since 1974 first few year's as a naughty fellow then passed my test and carried on, it just get's in the blood; apparently i was nearly borne on an A.J.S. I do not own a car just two bike's and not many brain cell's, at least that's how it seem's when the weather is not so good!!

Bright and breezy here today, so the ex-army Harley enjoyed a pleasant 65 mile trundle through the backroads.

Found this wartime relic standing guard over a flooded field. I was parked over the road beside a very swollen river...



Thanks for looking in....

Oh my, sooo straight, and a windbreak. Can't have been too silly, I don't see any rubber on the road.

Wait until summer! :smiling2: :smiling2: :smiling2:

Well, I took the 650 Suzuki out for a toodle round the backroads this morning. With the weather being so mild and all the Christmas and New year family stuff done, wifey expressed an interest in going for a spin. This is probably the first time she's been on the back of the bike during the month of January since we had kids!

My route took in the old Birch airfield where one of the runways became a public road after the war. According to the usual sources, the airfield was completed in 1943 by the US airforce, but never became fully operational. It was used as an emergency landing field and for the massing of transports and gliders for the crossing of the Rhine. More recently it has been used buy dads taking their offspring for first drives and for late night silliness...

About time I got back to another Motorcycle ! - I made one of these a long time ago in Titanium Grey as I had a real one, but as I sold the model again on Ebay and I had also owned a lovely Silver one, I have been bidding and finally nicked one on Ebay again £13.00 plus p and p ! This one will be Silver - Happy days !
