Hi. Thought it was about time I came on here and introduced myself...
I don't own an NSR, in fact I've never owned a Honda in my life. I've got a TZR250SP Reverse Cylinder, a pile of those oddball KR250 tandem-twins and a background in the usual two-strokes (350LC's, TDR250, Kawasaki Triples etc). My missus has an NSR50 Gag bike. Some of you may know me from the other 2-stroke forums.
I helped start Diff'rent Strokers last year. Me and a mate had been going to some of the 'classic' bike shows for a few years but were sick of seeing the same old bikes, they rarely had any of the stuff we were into and owned ourselves. So we booked a stand at Stafford Show last year and put five 80's two-strokes on it, including an NS400R and MVX250. Just an experiment but we got quite a good reception.
Following that we started our own forum and tried to get some other people involved. Our next show was the VJMC Anniversary at Uttoxeter in July where - with a lot of help - we managed 10 bikes, including the MVX again, an NS250R and an NSR50 mini bike. Our poor location meant a lot of people didn't even know we were there though.
And we'll be at Stafford again this month. Sat/Sun 20/21 October. We've only got room for 6 bikes this time, but 3 of 'em will be NSR's ! Please pop by and say hello - we'll no doubt be tucked away in the furthest-back hall again but we're worth seeking out. Hope you think so anyway.
We're not a club and we're not trying to compete with all the specialist sites and forums like this one. We're not experts and we don't have the mintest bikes. All we're trying to do is put a few interesting strokers together and show 'em off to a wider audience. If you want to get involved, have a look at our site and email us or join in on our forum. One or two of you have found us and offered bikes already and we haven't overlooked you, it's just tricky trying to arrange a decent mix of bikes. We're new to all this ! But we do need your help, otherwise we'll just be showing the same old things each time. Thanks.
