Capri 80...that brings back memories, my first ever bike! Bought it off my dad who was upscaling to an Excelsior. I used to cane it something shocking, it would seize up and come to a screeching halt, back wheel locked, give it a minute or two and off I went again...then I graduated to the cub...happy days |

I took my test on a Tiger Cub & broke down, too. It was 1968 & in my case, the clutch cable had snapped, so the test was abandoned. I didn't aspire to more than a 250, so I didn't take it again 'till 1978 on a CB250G5. Passed this time, but kept the G5 another 10 years - told you I was happy with 250s  9 |
