20 Years ago today

Post by Pazuzu »

A friend and I picked up a pair of matching CBR600's brand spanking new :) Mine was N21XKE.

My first 'big' bike after a couple of 350LC's.

In 2000 I bought a new Firestorm and a mate bought one at the same time, they gave us consecutive number plates, we complained but by then they could do nothing about it, I'd make sure it doesn't happen again, just a few gay jokes :lol:
