Well it was 31 years ago I fell in love with a V7 sport, I still own it today the stylish lines the custom paint job well it was 1977 and the bike was not that old a 1972, I had had British bikes from age 13 but when I was about 15 a guy in the village I lived in bought a 750gt Ducati this turned my head to Italian bikes but I've never strayed from the path many Ducatis have tempted me over the years but I've stayed true to my love. Incidently my riding companion in those british bike days was a certain Jock Taylor remember him.
