Bit of light hearted fun for today...

Ebay search for your year of birth and pick which bike Santa is putting in the stocking for you.

Slim pickings from the year of my birth and none of then rock my boat.

So I’m going with the most expensive one.

No EMB noise here...
That's not ebay. Play by the rules or sit on the naughty step and think about what you've done :)

Quote fitting as I think that was the first bike I ever rode. I'd have been about 6 or 7 and there was bloke had set up a little track outside the local baths and had 4 or 5 of them and was charging for a go on them. My dad let me have a go and one twist of the throttle and I was hooked.

According to the episode of American Pickers I watched earlier in the week, the Trike flathead motor is 'detuned' compared to the standard flathead and nobody wants them.

I had a 125 very similar to that, it was a good little trail bike, definitely a bike I wish I'd never sold.

This is the best I can find for 1967, it's ball achingly expensive for a 250

I thought about Taipans one but got this instead - it'll be dead reliable

I didn't even know there was a CX500 Turbo. In fact I don't even know if the CX500 Turbo is an official model. But come on, it's from the 80s and it hads "Turbo" in the name with matching graphics proudly proclaiming that fact.
