Ton up kids
« on: November 05, 2008, 08:47:43 PM »

Riding back from Leicester today in the rain I got a bit nostalgic -  thinking of the first time I did a ton on a motorbike, 18 at the time on a Honda 550 four supersport, it seemed like a really important thing back then suddenly I realiseded it was 25 years ago and got depressed instead... So any other ton up kids? what bike? how long ago?  and were you wearing DM's at the time :lol:

1989,  not long had a GPz600R after passing my test. Typical riding gear, leather jacket, jeans, trainers. Seeing the needle at  100 was a magic moment then.

1974, on a nice but roughish 750 Norton Commando fastback, drum brakes all round, tls on the front with an air scoop.  Quite an impressive bike for a 17 year old even if I say so myself.
