Nice!

I always wanted an elsie.When I upgraded from a Suzy GP100 I got a Honda CB250RS.It was OK and probs saved me a couple of times when had I been on an Elsie I would`ve been going faster and the outcome different.Then the 1981 learner law came around and turned my RS into worthless metal,the only 250`s to hold their value were you guessed it Elsie`s.I`ve had all manner of bikes since but never did get around to owning an Elsie,now look at their prices :(

Did you never get around to taking your test? I am so glad I did!

Yeah passed my test on the GP I got the 250RS because I thought it was a sensible upgrade rather than going for say a 550.Up until 3 years ago I had a 600 Bandit,getting a hankering for another bike now.

It must have been later than 81. I remember buying loads of 250s because it was cheaper than fixing the one I was using.

Pretty sure it was 1982, but I passed mine then. About as complicated as open a packet of biscuits..

Elsie's shiny front end!

Yes you are right it was 1982 as I`d bought the RS brand new in Aug 81.I think it was the legalising of CB radio in 81.Phew I feel old :(

Age is irrelevant it's what you do that counts. If you want a trip down memory lane you are welcome to have a ride any time matey! (Just let me get her registered, MOT'd, taxed and insured first!)

Get a 1200 Bandit had mine 10 years!

WAY to big a bike for me! Saying that I had a GS1000 and that was one hell of a lump of metal...
