Any interpreters out there?

Tell us about BXs you have spotted on the road, or BXs/parts spotted for sale including eBay finds.

KH250? Before my time I think but wasn't that a Kawasaki 2 stroke triple that ate sparkplugs?

I do miss the smell of 2 stroke oil in the morning :( And somehow on every bit of clothing I owned!

That`s the one and a wonderful machine it was too. The trick was to ride round for a couple of hours in top gear at low speed then wait until one of your mates was behind you on his new bike. Then boot it down a few cogs and open it up all the way. It was always a laugh at the next fag break to see him and his new bike covered from head to toe in black drops of Castrol`s finest :lol:

It's a 1982 R45 (bit of a rare beast!) The engine has been rebuilt as a 650 but kept the standard low gearing so the acceleration can sometimes surprise people... :twisted:
Still got a bit of a soft spot for my first bike though, an MZ 125. Ahhh...nostalga.

Way2Go, can you please recite On Ilkely Moor Bah Tat in 37 different languages backwards?
If not please draw a crude map with an outlying plan of the centre of the universe (Chester) and which town down south you plan to invade on our behalf?
This is indeed a surprise Chaps. :shock: 8) I feel honoured! :D

You wouldn't want to hear my singing voice but I have climbed through the Cow & Calf a few times, once at twilight - does that count?
Also I have walked the complete circuit of the walls of Chester three times too! (on non race days)

Perhaps a plan to invade the IOW and revive the abandoned Rocket Test Site. This could be an ICBM site using BMW's packed with extra engine blocks and high explosive as warheads! :evil: We could also put a BX on the moon in the spare time if Cav could use his refinery contacts to divert sufficient fuel to us. :P This could be accomplished by a PLUTO from Fawley perhaps? :-k

Way2go, you`re in. That`s exactly the kind of thinking we like and also a timely reminder that I shall take over my work place first. Resistance will be futile for them because if they don`t concede I`ll merely carry on working there until I retire and believe me they don`t want that.
Firing a BX to the moon is a fantastic plan, I have two `lucky` candidates in mind for pilot and co-pilot.
Firing Beemers from rocket launchers is another master plan of yours Way2go. We could aim them at whichever part of Germany these monstrosities are made and paint slogans like `Here, have it back` and `Sorry, you DON`T own the roads`.
By banning BMW`s from the roads we`d also solve the NHS`s problems as there`d be far fewer accidents caused by sunglass wearing slapheads charging through the traffic and dizzy bints driving up kerbs outside junior schools.
Tree shortages and the environment would be aided by banning ALL junk mail and anyone found to be making telesales calls will be deported to Outer Mongolia along with people who converse in stupid bloody text talk. Anyone who owes money to a fellow member of any club, forum or organisation will be given an ASBO order. (Automotive School Bx Ownership) which means 4 months of solid cramming for the exam on rear suspension arms, broken fingers and multiple swearing.
