A few pics from Cassington charity bike night which is held on the last Monday in June which raises money for local causes such as the Chiltern air ambulance and others
There all great bikes great to see them , I had the ty 50 as my first bike on the road in the same colour memory a :onya:
@Mrg ,mine was the fizzy but in brown, a very fast little bike, that purple one in the picture,the owner was offered £3,500 on the night but he refused. He said he was going to restore it.
Found another one, who remembers this one?
Great photos Tally. Thanks for sharing.
Love those old RD's :drool:
Also loved RD then LC. Had some great fun on both. That Suzuki in last pic, never ridden one but would be a story to tell. 2 strokes, just amazing. Had 4 GT750, one really fast one. My absolute killer was a 1972 Mach 3 H1B 500 Kawasaki. Just couldnt go around corners. I fitted earlier model CDI , 550 Suzuki pistons and built expansion chambers. Stock was amazing, after mods just stupid. My mate from then still talks about it. Above 6k revs it just went mad.
Awesome! Love it Grog.
I had both those little Yamahas back in the day - a TY50 and after that an FS1E. I still remember the feeling of freedom from having my own personal transport and being able to go wherever I wanted whenever I wanted.
Happy days!
Found this from a show I went to its a suzuki gt750 ram Air streetfighter.
I don't think that's a GT750, a 550 maybe.
mjgt, exactly correct i reckon. i had one of those also, just as quick as gt750 stock. great bike.

A mate of mine still has one under cover in his garage in NI.
I bought this the next day after I arrived in Oz back in 1986.
My first sixteener and I also had a FS1E.

Great photo's!!
Cassington Bike Night is well worth a visit..Aim to get there around 4pm as the bikes pour in up until about 9pm. Quite a site to see if you sit on the green outside the pub.
Got a nasty feeling I'm on shift once again this year, so I'll miss it :furious:
