pjkay Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Believe it was Strines as stated.No theres no Gold Star .From front was Super 5 Crusader sports in midle and rear Continental GT none of those was mine but brother and mates. Thanks for the info guys...My eyesight is not what it used to be..Remember my old Goldstar used to vibrate so much the headlamp fell to pieces above 75.MPH,,, Those drop bars and arse up where most uncomfortable...BUT VERY MACHO AND FASHIONABLE....My nicest most comfortable bike was My Honda 6 cylinder super sport 1000 pro link....But not the most exciting by far...The top list were a Vincent Black Shadow, and a Manx Norton..Like wrestling a Bear,, but adreneline rush always. So life goes on and now 4 wheels only for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exbrit Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 My first bike was a Honda 160 and they didn' t make them very well in those days. One day I was riding around and there was a big bang followed by the spark plug whistling past my head. Just blew it out of the cylinder. Also whenever it rained heavily, the engine would die.
