Great thread. Did anyone ever use there motorbikes out hunting? Carrying terriers etc?

A few more of the modified old Honda CJ250, My favourite car is the AC Cobra so the paint work was inspired by that 

Shortened frame and CG tank i think it was.

I absolutely loved them but never got around to owning one, in the mid 2000’s I had a vtr firestorm ( big heavy slug ) and a lad I used to go on rides out with had a yammy thunderace that thing was crazy fast, I think he used to get sick of waiting for me to catch up

I can remember as a 16 years old, going fishing on my TY50, it was like it is now, absolutely freezing cold, Basket over one shoulder and rod holdall over the other, My mate in front was on a Suzuki GT125 after going for about half an hour he stopped on a canal bridge to wait for me to catch up, When i did, i couldn't bend my knee to put my foot down and ended up on the floor sideways under the bike

I’ve just been looking on evilbay and between 1700 and 2k will get you a tidy early 2000 thundercat, I think it’s time I kicked off my midlife crisis and got another bike, it’s been about 6 years now since I last owned one, I had a Kawasaki er6n that I bought new in 2010 but that got nicked in 2016, that was a really fun bike to ride, 650 mini twin, not really fast but you couldn’t half fling it about and I never once felt like I was going to come off it

Same with the FZR400 not many of them didn't end up sliding down a road, This one came in bits

The FZR had a delta box frame, as did a few other models, You can see it says it on the frame
