Buckaroo Banzai

The few pics of the lads on the bikes that I managed to snap. these guys were fearless.

This was my favorite bike of the show. it looks like it could be a pig to ride and not the most comfortable. But it had a clever front swinging arm and hub centre steering setup controlled by rods connected to the handlebars, very trick. its both simple and complex at the same time..

This little Suzuki 125 stinger was like new and I always wanted one but never did.

the show had all kinds on display and something of interest for everyone. All the mainstream manufacturers had all their latest ranges of bikes, scooters and quads but there were also specialist builders for choppers and bespoke one offs to the customers requirements. there was also a display arena with a bunch of young lads doing the impossible on BMX bikes, very impressive..! I tried to grab a few pics but I couldnt keep up with them.. one of the handful of bikes to have ever been built with a wobbly triangle engine. The Suzuki RE5. I remember them well and they were only ever destined to be garage ornaments and display bikes at shows. Some of the bikes that helped to make my youth complete, particularly the Kawasaki triples. I've had an H1 500, S3 400 AND A KH 250 but not in that order.. also had a Yamaha YDS7 250 and a YR5 350, a Suzuki T500 and also a couple of Italians a Gilera 150 Arcore and a Bennelli 250 2C...........Some of you may remember some of those..?

went to the bike show at the weekend at the Eurexpo exhibition centre, Lyon. (for those that are interested in bikes) http://www.salondu2roues.com/

Thanks mate, is the sig o.k. now?

since your offer, I gave it some thought and decided to change my name across all the forums.. could a mod please change my user to "Buckaroo Banzai" please. Thanks in advance..

I've had 2 300zx's, an N/A and a Strosek widearch TT. If and when I get into a Nissan again it will be either a 370z or the GTR..

just registered today and spookily enough...........I'm a Chris... enter the Twilight zone...

That would be nice, but then as I said no one would know me. Probably not an issue on this forum as no one knows me anyway apart from Martinmac..

yes that would have been more appropriate based on my user name, but I'm not Welsh? I chose that user name originally as it is the name of my house, perfectly good and welcoming name for a house. so I chose it as my forum name as it would be easy to remember. However I regret it an bit now, not because its Welsh but because since, I've thought of better user names but everyone knows me by that name now. so am a bit stuffed for changing it......Hey ho..

Sorry, not what you were expecting...

Hi all. I've been on most of the other z forums for years, so I dont know why its taken me so long to register here.. but I'm here now so Hi to everyone..
