this is the bike that got me riding again after 13 years. I had one when i swas 19years old, and in a moment of madness i saw this on e bay , it didnt look like this as it had been standing in a garden since 1990 !!! ad i put a silly bid on it... not expecting to get it and i won it so had to do somthing with a rusty and very tired piece of garden furniture. So bought lots books on them and sourced loads of new bits in the states (was cheaper shipping and buying in america than the UK DK spares are a joke they wanted more than the new bits from dave silver for some of the stuff second hand) so i ended up with a 1974 "triggers broom". that was five years ago now.

Nice Honda Alliecat. Have you still got it? Used to have loads of Hondas when I was a kid as they would let an inexperienced hand work on them and still do their best to run. As I remember.....never had one break down on me either. With I could say the same about my FZ! Hahahaha

Hahahaha afraid i had to sell it to pay some bills but had some money left over so then i bought a 1974 xs500 with the change, looked good but was poo to ride so got rid of that and got my FZ for £450 and it is great fun , but i keep thinking of an early GSXR750 slabside , so if you know of any one that would swap for an FZ let me know.

dont dont dont, swap a good bike for a slab side! A guy I know bought an FZ brand new and his brother bought a slabside brand new and they went to Italy touring (yes I know-neither is a touring bike) However the slabby just didn't stop compaining about aching wrists and fuel consumption etc.....
