FORGIVE ME TEAM SUZUKI FOR I HAVE SINNED

[suzuki43]

The time has come to 'out' myself......
Yes I am afraid that I have committed a crime nearly as heinous as that fashion crime committed by Sir Bradalot at CD,7 upon his two sizes too small CZ shirt.....
Yes I am afraid I have purchased a Honda!
No it is not an April Fool.
I have acquired a 1980 CR250RA red,cough, cough, choke devil.
Now before all and sundry come out swinging,it needs to be said that this has only happenned due to a pact I made at Magoos wake with a good mate.In between my off road safaris ( in joke),I promised my comrade that I would buy a Honda and race it as my personal ongoing memorial to my mate Magoo.
This day has come.
The bike is currently residing in the US and will probably land back here August.It is a resto project which does run,but I will need some bits and bobs to restore it i.e. a seat and probably shocks,along with numerous parts I guess,so if any of the red army have any bits lying around please give me a shout,I will pay for them.
Anyway I shall now retreat and await the deserved abuse.
Cheers Honzuki43
Photo below she aint pretty but soon will be!

well done brother, a very noble & fitting gesture indeed to a top bloke.

Shit.....lightening just struck my garden shed. Wonders will never cease.
Cool reason for buying it though Craig.  
PS....are you and the bloke that looks a bit like you joining us for the GP at Broadford?

[suzuki43]

Firko,if you guys are going I will be there!

bugger - here I was all ready to rant and rave and cast much abuse (all deserved of course) but how can you attack a man (even one such as your self Craigy) for such an idea  :'(

Oh one other thing I forgot to mention.The CR will be the bike for my Ocker mates to ride when they come and visit :-*Oh and I guess  I now own an 'old shitter' (twin shocker) even though  I am far too young to remember them at age 30 (plus ten years experience).

Just when you couldn't stoop any lower. You come back and totally redeem yourself.
Our mate would be proud.
Too bad you have de-valued all Honda's! 
Honda's are like Pringle's. You can't just stop at one. It's a quality thing.
Oh, and your number plate is upside down (numbers) ( must be the most used race number. Wonder why.....)

[suzuki43]

Thanks Sir Bradalot,I guess like that old Rob Muldoon comment,the IQ's of both camps (Team Suzuki and Honda) has increased with this move.

[Scunge]

Shame, shame, shame..... The forum will be a far less funny place now that your Honda bashing days are over.

If its anywhere as good (for its vintage) as my 83 CR250 is, you will be one happy camper.

Best you post up a photo of you in your mugen shirt from China to close this one out!

[suzuki43]

Yes indeed Scunge,it appears I am now a Honda joke!

[D project]

You two are now red peas in a pod!

[Rossvickicampbell]

funny you mention that Brad - Craig - my RMZ when bought back from the realms of many years trailbike riding had the same number 

[Tossa]

I also must admit to straying from the fold and have my RM for sale, as I have gone European (KTM).  I have arranged counselling sessions with She who will be obeyed but she doth mock me and I now feel besmirched.  But one must lift ones head and face the breeze!! ah tough life

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
Hang your heads in shame

You could always paint it yellow to ease the pain…
