For fun, I was just looking back at some old stuff, in the early/mid 80's when the Pantahs/F1 came out, I didnt have any money, looking at an F1 was like looking in the window at a Ferrari....no way did I have the kind of mad money needed. I wasnt racing so motorcycles were just a recreational toy.

Chime in....what were you riding at the time.

Here is a teaser picture of my ride.....can you tell what it was?? :D

Good one :D :D
Something Japanese, judging by the clock : Honda and a four.
Here are (some of) my mid 80's stuff.
Race transport, riding for fun/in the dirt/in the rain/in town/in the snow.
And indeed : I too lusted after a F1, but since there was only 1 that was faster than my bevel, didn't want to make the swap.
Anyone can tell where the Fiat Ducato (of course) was taken ? Not many passes have 30+ hairpins ;)

Nice shots.....Ducadini!!

Bevel...yeah!!! On the red bike, where did you get those trick articulated rear shocks. What is the white enduro?? On the pass?????

Yeah...you guessed right on my teaser shot.....a Rickman CR750 sohc. They were very expensive to build when new, but I got it when it was 13 years old/out of date and needing some work.
