...because I can’t be bothered. So you’ll have to guess which I owned when.. There are cars too, but they’re all at the end of the page! |
|
Also a favorite, a very much nicer bike than you’d expect, not at all like the XS1100 battleship, I’d still like to own one. Seen below at the top of the Timmelsjoch pass in Austria, one of the highest passes in fact. |
|
The 2nd one of these I owned was older and not as nice as the first, although it was painted by me quite nicely in non-standard silver/red, sadly the pic is not good, seen here somewhere in Italy… note the 2 spotlights under the tank. |
|
My Darmah was “SS-ized” whilst I owned it and had quite a few trick bits, including prized Scuderia stickers, sand bent works rep exhaust, big carbs etc. |
|
This was one of my favorite bikes, and was actually constructed out of “spare” parts when we used this model in endurance racing. I’ve given it it’s own page HERE. |
|
The list on this page is not in chronological order…. |
|
Ducati Darmah 860 |
|
‘74 Ducati 750 sport |
|
Yamaha XS1.1s |
|
Older vehicles... |
|
The only bike I’ve ever bought from new. It would run rings around it’s contemporaries on the road, such as Honda 750 sports and Kawasaki 900’s... |
|
75’ Ducati 750 sport |
|
Fast for the time with about 750cc, this was an ex production racer and needed detuning before I could start it, let alone drive it on the road! |
|
Devimead BSA Spitfire |
|
Rather forgettable despite being quite unusual.. |
|
Royal Enfield Constellation |
|
Only secondhand bike I ever bought from a dealer, and in fact it was very nice—until some scrote nicked it, mine had the large tank, not the silly shoebox. |
|
BSA Spitfire |
|
This was home built and, ahem, interesting. It was reliable, but messy... |
|
BSA A10 chop |
|
My first big bike, bought from a back garden for £80, I then proceeded to turn it from a reliable, nice bike, to an overtuned disaster, still live and learn! Thanks for the pic Mac! |
|
Norton Dominator 99 |
|
The less said about this, the better. NOT a fun machine. |
|
Norton Jubilee 250 |
|
My first legal transport. £3 15 shillings from a house garden opposite my school. |
|
Vespa 125 scooter |
|
Loaned from a friend for some “maintenance”. I found it a lovely bike, very pretty and fun! |
|
Yamaha XT500 |
|
This was a project that I had to abandon due to getting the Jensen. There’s a link to the original page about this here, if anyone needs it. |
|
1973 Bond Bug project |
|
Big and fast! A very underrated car, and good value for money. |
|
Ford Granada Cosworth |
|
CX’s are one of my favorite 4 wheeled vehicles, a good CX is lovely, this one took the whole family around in style. |
|
Citroen CX Familiale |
|
Again, lovely! Quite fast (about 120 mph) and could surprise a few people. |
|
Citroen CX GTi |
|
A bit of a buzz-bomb, to say the least. Very light but a reliable car with about 100bhp. |
|
Citroen Visa GTi |
|
My 1st car, very nice and “built like a watch” applied to this car for sure. The howl and push in the back when it hit the power band was great! |
|
Honda S800 |
