This is my first bike (30 years ago)

It is a Suzuki GT 750 from 1976

It had 3 cilinders and was a 2 stroke with  water cooling

Now this is a picture how it looks today.

I tell you the story about that picture and the bike.

A year ago, I found the registration number of the bike at my mums house

I checked the RDW registration and the bike was still on the road.

I put an advertise if somebody knew where my first bike was

The 'new' owner e mailed me, that he was the happy owner of the GT750

He also did send me this picture and I'm very proud of the looks.

Than somebody else phoned me as well and he is a well known person of mine

He said that he bought this bike 2 years after I sold it from a man in Eindhoven

Now that was the same man I sold the GT to.

He told me also it was his first motorcycle............

Than he told me, you know Remi too..

I said: Yes

He said: I sold the GT to him aswell

So my first bike was also the bike of 2 people(mayby more) I know but just found out 30 years later.

Anyway the owner also said:  You don't have to ask if I'm selling it......because I don't

He was very pleased with it . 

Me on the XS 650 caferacer I build several years ago
Home made exhaust with a beautiful sound
Listen for yourself
By the way this bike had an "original dirttrack" 750 kit from the US

This bike is a Panther M120 from the early 60's

Little bit of a story

Always wanted 2 bikes

A Triumph like Marlon Brando had or look a like

or a  Panther M120

 

The day I bought this bike I was in heaven

I didn't drove it because she needed new primairie chain

The same week, somebody sold his T100.....

Well , I'm into the 50's aswell and a T100

was more a Rockers bike than the Panther was

So I had a choice to make about a bike I wanted for quit awhile

The story is: Sold this one and bought the T100 as you can see in earlier Blog

But still can say: I had one.......... ;-)

This is a Triumph T100 from 1953 with all alloy engine and spring hub.
This photo was taken when I was riding with the Triumph in the UK.
It was on the A149 from Wells next to sea(where they have lovely fish & chips by the way) to Cromer.

Here's a picture of me on the T100 with my leather jacket.
I lost my quiff when the needle hit the ton HA

Below you can see a picture of the spring hub and an open picture how it works

UPATE 2 pictures of the bike in my back garden

This is a Hillman Minx 1.6 from 1963 I used to ride

and a BSA Rocket from 1964. 

Here's a original poster of the ROCKET and a picture by the shed
