I've seen a CB5 up for sale locally, its an X reg like mine was, but with only 7k on the clock and for only 1700. I'm sorely tempted as all it needs is rejeting, then the paint job and highlevel xaust system, what a fun track bike that'd make :smt003

Here we go:
my previous ride (Suzuki SV650, big bore kit (750), M4 racing full exhaust, gold wheels, braced swingarm). Glorious little bike. The engine and gearbox is just perfect. The noise it makes :smt007 Still parked on my driveway, waiting for insurance compensation after the lady failed to noticed me when I was 15 meters from her (I managed not to hit her, which proved to be a huge mistake) :smt011
Image

Back to Poland:
first bike that actually was rideable. '81 Yamaha XS750 SE. Beautiful bike, great noise again. Not one of the best examples but still made me proud. One of the worst gearboxes I've ever tried.
Image

And my first big bike, '78 Suzuki GS 650 SL. Great looking, not going :smt003 I had been fighting to get it going for 2 years before I sold it. Lack of knowledge/resources/garage/time. Constant source of frustration. :smt013
Image

That was my first ever ride, when I was like 8 or so (I had 3 of those):

I even made something like this out of one of them:

And that is the way an adult looks on one:

If anyone's curious about them, feel free to ask. :smt001
