Cramond Village, down by the River Almond.

The Cramond Inn is within 50yds of that picture (good pub, nice food) & also where I spent a good part of my "yoof" & where a lot of bikers used to congregate back in the 70's.

A nice spot.

Here's a shot looking the opposite direction...

well anothder fine day today,sunday,blackhat came down and we went for another spin,still shakin down the h1,down to the bridges,the grassmarket for beer and a bite,nothing fell of the h1 today,but it leaks gear oil from the pump or cover gasket,waterproofs my right boot

starting to like this h1,gearing so different to the s2 and also you have to get it up into 6k before it happens,then grrrrr its off!!!tartan

Shame my H1 isn't running properly otherwise it would have been three triples out there today.

Still, my wee 250 Suzy Hustler did ok.

I had a wee shot on Blackhat's H2 at one point, first one I've ridden, that was grin inducing !

We can't turn it into a bike night I'm afraid... we'll be with the neighbours.

That is one very nice Suzuki. I had a new 73 350 rebel in red when i was 17. very rare, very nice looking bike. Your 250 is soooooo clean. Bet they are a shit to get bits for now.

Guy K · Post by **Guy K** » Mon Aug 01, 2011 3:06 pm

Thanks for the compliments.

My first real bike (on the roads) was a Suzuki Hustler T250J when I was 17 yeras old followed by an H1F.

Actually, parts for the wee Suzuki aren't too bad to get hold of, I think I had more trouble getting the bits for my H1.

Anyway, as my H1 isn't running right at the moment the Hustler was second choice yesterday, it's a wee buzz bomb but you need to work the six speed box hard to keep it buzzing and make any real progress.

If you like these little bikes you might like.... www.suzukihustler.co.uk ?
