When I 1st started racing I rode a Yamaha BYZ401 (I think there were 3 models 301, 401, 501).

Here is a picture of me riding my Yamaha at the last berm at Solent Spitfires (Southampton) track in 1982.

I am more worried about the enormous crash helmet I am wearing, that thing is gigantic.  The gloves are pretty huge also.  I was just the king of style eh?  Nice natty boat shoes also.

I remember that bike so well.  It had yellow z-rims, red hubs, red cranks, Curtis handlebars, I think the tyres were red also.

Here you go, sorry about the picture of it complete - that was taken by the guy I bought it from (I forgot to take one myself).

I bought it because it was this bike that led me to have my first BMX stove enamelled white and buy some red/white checkered pads. I was going to restore it to it's former glory, but I had to sell it as I was running out of space  ::)

I remember that bike when it was on ebay Moose, I was going to bid on it, but I just had too many others at the time.  Wish I did now.
