Trip down memory lane


Recommended Posts

Hey all.

When I was first introduced to bikes in the 1970’s, two strokes were all the rage. My first bike was a Kawasaki 100cc farmbike. One of my brothers had an 80cc Yamaha roadbike. My other brother started out on a 100cc Suzuki.

I had the opportunity to ride a number of 2 strokes in my teens, as all my mates had the same bug. Oil burning, vibrating, high revving freedom.
 

Among my most memorable rides were my brothers Kawasaki S400 triple - scary near full throttle, but could not go round corners in a predictable line to save itself and a good mates Suzuki GT750 waterbucket. That was an amazingly heavy beast that had really nice road manners, but could make your ears touch behind your head when you twisted the throttle wide open.

Did anyone else experience the thrill of an old Sokol 2 stroke bike?
