I rode it to school, and remember feeling very cool, very cool indeed, and with my whole life in front of me. Ahh the exuberance of youth -- although these days, I would not be a teenager again if you paid me (lol). Thanks again Gents, and many thanks.
    Happy birthday Gareth.
    RE the Yammy Fizz. I had a Suzuki ER50 (30mph jobby) and took the 15/2 front sprocket from an FS1E to replace the smaller one on my bike which made it go an indicated 38-40mph on the flat but it died as soon as it saw a hill. Considering the ER50 was an attempt at a trails bike it seemed to defeat the object but it still had the edge on most of the other restricted bikes.

    Happy Birthday Gareth... Good to meet you at the Bash.

    I vividly remember my first motorbike at 17, a 175 cc BSA Bantam D7, 3 speed and within a week I had my nose almost on the front tyre and bum in the air trying to wring 60 MPH out of it... Moved on to a 200cc Triumph Tiger Cub which I rebuilt then afterwards my first big bike bike was a 600
    Norton Dommie 99 which was superb.. With the renowned Featherbed frame and Roadholder forks the handling was so good that sometimes I went round roundabouts 3 times in a row when nobody was looking!��

    Similarly, I had the ZR50, the Suzuki X1. Restricted. For a few days! 14 tooth sprocket, a 'spannie, polished ports and a bigger jet and 52 on the clock!

    Hope you're having a great one, Gareth!

    Thanks Mick & Shirl ... And yes it was, thank you -- only way it could possibly 've been better was if I could've had one of Shirl's burgers with bacon and black pudding for lunch (a Hallowed Hollow gastronomical delicacy and delight ). Atb: G.
