Things we should never have sold.

Hi All,

The wife's been going through the old photo's and this one turned up.

Should never have sold it. It would be a show bike now.
It even had an unmarked ally turbo guard. Others I have seen have either been dropped or it's missing completely.

It had only done 18k, and the front wheel even less.

O, for the benefit of hindsight.


Cheers
Paul G

RG 500

And when my eldest can afford it she can buy me another (or an RC30) because she was the reason I sold it.

Bloody kids!

My VFR750R (F666PRV) which I bought for £9200 on the 5th Jan 1989.....sold a long time ago due to financial pressure.

I sat there in the office at Harry Gill's Motorcyles in Gosport choosing which plate from the list they had available, the number of the beast leapt out from the page and it had to be...F666 PRV.
Still remember the first ride...wondering what the hell I had done spending that much money on a bike that you had to slip the clutch on upto 30 mph.....and then I saw the derestricted sign and a long series of bends Best bike I ever owned and I wish I still had is tucked up in the garage. It will be 22 years in January....

RC30, best bike.....ever bar none.


This one isn't mine but you get the idea.

I also wish I still had my CB1100RC as well

My old 106 rallye, was looking through some old photos yesterday and typed the reg number into google and it popped up on a forum.

Would love to buy it back as its almost still standard although im sure it would cost me more than I sold it for 6 years ago.

I sold. 3:38 for £100, should of kept it.
My mim binned a load of original 1955 Eagle annuals & shattered an original 78rpm of the laughing policeman, that's probably priceless now.
