Nos?

Years ago my bike shop commended me on my holed piston. The gradual
burning through showed that I was running it in correctly, shame I
didn't fit the carb correctly, resultant air leak caused it to run too
lean.

Whereas Ubuntu has _not_ever_once_ burned a hole in one of my disk
drives.

In fact, the only OS that ever killed one of my hard disks was... oh, you
can all guess without me having to say its name.

In German I would call the builder of that Bike a "Daniel Duesentrieb".

Sadly my own last bike was a Suzuki 380GT two-stroke 3 cylinder from mid
197* !

Shurely shome mishtake? http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/831115/

I used to have T500, I remember the kick starter on the left, it used
to kick back and make me knee myself in the chin.

Quite like http://www.bikepics.com/pictures/405732/ except for a GT500
front end grafted on (so it had a disc brake)

I learned to ride on a T250 (Hustler?) but was envious of my mate's T500.

My last was a 1961 BMW R50. It was accompanied by a 200 cc Honda,
about '64 I believe, for my wife, with electric start. Those
lasted a while, and got set aside, what with kids and whatnot. Now
you can't find a 350 or 500 cc highway machine of any type.

Those were preceded by a hiatus, and before that a 1949 350cc
Douglas. Also opposed twin, and a nice machine. It got about 100
miles per Imperial gallon.

better than my car (and louder) :-)

I had to check to make sure myself, I did remember the patented "ram air
system" of doing bugger all though :-)

Yeah :-) Who the hell needs a front suspension.

Reminds me on the time I fitted my old "Puch 250 TF
with the front end of the Suzuki GT380 after the middle cylinder this bike
had a hole....

Puch 250 TF:
http://www.hubler.de/seiten2/Puch250TF/puch250tf.htm
(Sorry, site is in German but the picture is one of the best I've seen
Again sadly not my own bike, but mine was the same make and model)


I drove that bike (with the new front) for a few months, until this bike
too bit the dust.... That was the end of my motorcycling days....

Actually I found the first bike (build by the Chinese) when I was searching
the net about this dude:

William "Wild Bill" Gelbke and his world-longest motorbike (back in those
days certainly) the "Roadog...
