Mrs RF9 came home from shopping with a new printer/scanner, on offer at our Tesco`s.

So to test it out, heres a few pics i have found, more to come when i`ve had a look through the old photo albums.
I know you all love my pics.

My first "big bike", CBR600, taken in Derbyshire, little place near Buxton where we used to load coal in one of my many jobs.

And heres my favourite bike, my trusty old RF900, (hence my name)

Heres when i first got it, in standard red.

Here it is outside the Golden Tulip hotel in Canal Staadt in Holland, we used to go to the WSB every year. (crap camera)

Did a track day at Mallory Park, if you look closely at left hand side, you can see where i came off at Gerrards.

Only standard bike i had was a Suzuki GT750, all original, trouble is it tried to kill me every time i rode it.

I never took any pics of that one.

Supposed to be very good, underrated bikes those, looks like you liked it a lot

The RF was very under rated, it was faster than a Fireblade and kept up with the Thunderace no problems.
Suspension was crap, as was the finish, but was fine after a strip down and a respray.
A little heavy but it was excellent for touring etc.

Bet you miss the 'glove box' on the RF

My 600 was the same colours as yours was originally.

Cheers Rutz

I haven`t yet mentioned the two XS250`s i had.
Trying to find a pic of those.
All my mates had Honda Superdreams, though mine was faster (when it would start)

Yup, good thing that glove box.
I could get two disc locks and a packet of fags in there.
