Spondon Turbo Suzook

[Skub]

Spondon frames have to be the loveliest thing ever.

218bhp.

190kgs.

No rider aids.

Even on paper that sounds intimidating.

I used to ride past Spondon every day. I always promised myself one, one day but its just a bunch of houses now

There's a big fat moral there for us all,man.

Google tells me after Stuart Garner bought and dismantled Spondon,the company was no more. An ex Spondon Employee Gavin Goddard now runs GIA Engineering,which seem to preserve some of the early heritage.

That's only about a mile from me, I pass it 2 or 3 times a week and never knew it was there

No excuse now,get it bought.

He does a very nice twin shock frame for big Suzuki and Kawasaki engines.

I used to love seeing stuff like that in PB in the 80's and 90s.
I might not even like riding it, but they are from an era when bikes were exciting.

Exactly that. A golden era. When it was all about t'craic.

Only in Superbike. And the niche grebo biking pamphlets. And MaxPower. Ohhhh... Jakki Degg.

There was a gun on TRC who had a turbo bandit 12 was there not?

[Mr. Dazzle]

And MaxPower. Ohhhh... Jakki Degg.

Back in the glory days when a national publication could approach a 17 year old girl in a carpark and ask "pink or brown?".

And they loved it, the little tarts.

When I was working for EMAP (which made Max amongst many others) the IT department introduced some sort of porn filter. They had to remove it pretty swiftly as it blocked much of the content we were producing.

Snooker was big back then.

Snooker was big back then.

It's only a game so,
Put up a real good fight,
I'm gonna be snookering you, snookering you, snookering you tonight....

Zanx had a turbo Bandit 12 IIRC, dunno how well it ran though as I think there was a few issues with it.

[Jody]

That was proper wanking material in streetfighters back in the day

But it was born in a time when jap frames were crap and they just aren't anymore, it's almost a shame

Maybe getting the locks and chains off?
