Growing up just after we came out of Swaziland, that was our staple diet! My mom could make fish 1001+ ways!
We were so hungry that my dad ended up with provincial colours for fishing😂
Riding since 1982, but without bike for about 5 years.
Hard fall in ‘82 with XR500 but got patched just there.
Never been in hospital or seen dr for bike related injuries.
Few offs never as bad as my first.
Lot of different bikes, tar, gravel, high speed, low speed any speed.
Now less riding...
Tom, it is good of you to share your experiences here as it makes me not feel so out! I have always battled with loosing it! My story in short is just coming back into SA from Swaziland and all my friends till then was black! You can think for yourself and I changed schools 12 times!
Keep on...
Yes, it depends how well it has been done. My SR was bought as a rebuilt bike with the clock turned to zero. I put 12k on it, then my brother a few and then his son took it to 79k and the motor still good! I am planning on sorting it again! Main issues are carb ( mate going to clean, new kit etc...
