Just the right place for it

I've had 2 and they were both amazing.. the first one was the better though.. had it 'mail ordered' as damaged repairable from Yorkshire.

One of the loudest things I've ever heard on the road

Reckon both were considerably louder than that (the second one had a Harris competition system on, used to blow flames out of the back..)

The first one used to have people putting their fingers in their ears at half throttle and I was always sent to the back of the group on a run.. nobody could stomach the headache from riding behind me

OMG!! Love the 500 Gammas. . . had the 250 in Mk1, Mk2 and Mk3 guises and they were, imo, incredible.. but the 500 was in another league (and uninsurable by me at the time )

Had a Yamaha RD 250, the one with the round tank in the year 1977AD

Came off the bugger on Kew Bridge and it sat unused in my front garden for a long while after that.
Chap knocked one night and asked if it was for sale as he saw it sat there every day on his way to work

There endeth my motorised bike period although my mates water cooled Suzuki 750GT often made me envious although not quite enough to have another bash
