Ist of August 1981 I went to the dealer and picked up my first BRAND NEW bike, my Honda H100A 2 Stroke Almost 40 years later my second brand new bike is due to be delivered this afternoon Agent CTB took an overt picture of it on Monday having its PDI

So happy for you BP....well done. Let us know how she rides.
To put this in context, in 1981 I was 7 years old. My parents took me to Ibiza for a week that year....but probably a completely different Ibiza (party island) to what it became maybe 10 years or so later.
Meanwhile, back home in Blighty SBY was being bought by a Mr. John Parsons and registered on the W, probably after sitting around for at least six months as a 'previous years model' special at Slocombes of Neasden.

Well here she is Neil was across, by the time it was unloaded, spent an hour drinking Tea and Coffee and chatting with Paul it was almost 5:00 Virtual meet time so maiden ride this morning It was a bit of mixed emotions, now down to one SD as MKW was the space casualty, these are the last pics

Hopefully the new owner will make it here to the RHSF.

You were thinking about a Himalayan at one time - are you now tempted by the Interceptor
