Beautiful, I had one a long, long time ago. My memeory was a 100 mph bike with 30mph brakes. But the sound of a two stroke triple cloud9 and amazing torque.

Hi,

Here is my history:

A couple of 50 cc moped from age of 14 to 17, the last one became and 80 cc and did over 120 k/h… only always bowered getting as much speed as possible but newer upgraded breaks or anything else… ha, the sweet teenage years in France with the moped…

Suzuki 125 RG Gamma at 17
Yamaha RDLC 350 YPVS at 18
Gilera 600 Nordwest (supermoto)
KTM 640 LC4 supermoto (smashed the bike and me up)
KTM 640 LC4 supermoto

Not allowed proper bikes as the mrs has forbidden me to have one, I am only allowed a Vespa to commute in London, so I bought the TVR for fun!

Vespa 125 GT4
Vespa 200 GT – current bike (well, with the insurance guys at the moment as last week a white van man reversed into me while at a T junction and bent the front of the Vespa…).


If I was allowed a bike I would probably have a Ducati or a KTM!

My first bike was at 4 years old, they provided me with a living for several years, being a tyre rep, and also UK racing manager too later on, its partly my fault you see Pirelli on the TV for BSB!
I Trialed, MX'd, Motarded, and Road raced in British Supersport 600 and National Superstock, Still have my GSXR1000K6, but barely use it..frown

Superstock in 2003



Me on the front page of MCN testing a specc'd up R1 at Mallory..





And the current hack..
