Seaford
Head - Nelson & his Yamaha 125
Nelson's
first motorised transport, the Yamaha 125cc AS3. A beautiful
little engine could spin up to 9,000 rpm with no worries. The AS3
had a top speed of 85 mph (92 downhill) it was a lot of fun to learn to
ride on and develop your road sense in relative safety and get you to
college of time.
The
RD 250 with clip-ons, racing seat and tank
His
second machine was the Yamaha RD 250. A very capable machine, fast
acceleration (wheelies) and good for a ton. Many sporting
enthusiasts followed the racing successes of Yarno Sarinnen (the Flying
Finn) then bought the road going version of the water-cooled TZ250.
Later, Nelson fitted a full fairing for even more street cred.
