fastbob Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 yes same around us too The FS1e was never known as a Fizzy around Coventry as far as I know . It was a Fizzer . The first time I ever heard one referred to as a Fizzy was by the character of Dave in an episode of The Royle Family . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 First road bike or first one I rode?, first one I rode was a moto x bike think it was some type of Honda 50 or 80cc, I was very young and can’t remember.First road bike was an Aprilia RS125, I did have a 50cc scooter before that but I’m disqualifying that from mention as you did say bike .

Gsx750f boy Posted November 21, 2019 Author Share Posted November 21, 2019 The Sachs I had ( 2nd bike ) was derestricted correctly by myself and had head squish ring machined out ...serious fun and sadly missed as sold to fund gsx750f... Would def buy it back if I could ..rs125 is similar power but Sachs much lighter frame aka ducatti ladder frame style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue N reg (SVY557N) CD175 I PX'd for the first 400/4 was in about the same condition as one I saw at Stafford last year and they wanted £1995 !!!. My winter bike, a red CD175 I had in the early 80's was in great nic but almost had to give it away in the end. Blokes of my Dad's generation were probably saying the same about Bantams and Tiger Cubs going for silly money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
