Want to swap your garage for my corner of the garden?
Looks lovely mate cool
Not my garage, sadly!

I don't actually know where the photo was taken. I asked my brother for a photo of the 'beam to send to my mate Carl (Kickstartcarl on here, but he got scared off ages ago!) to whet his appetite. This came back, I thought it was cool!

Ah I see. I really shouldn't like these bikes at my age! I'll have a pipe soon.

What's the bike in the corner?

nono

Don't assume old bike = old bloke. The mate who's borrowing it or the next gawd knows how long is still in his 20s. Just hehe

Bike in the corner looks like a Triumph on my phone!

Brilliant the revival. Much preferred it to the festival of speed.

Yes - looks superb.
I prefer they type of lift too, because when it's fully up it's like shelving, the scissor type with stuff in the middle doesn't give you that option.

Nope, I can't wait till I can afford to run a bike where I have to pump the oil in myself every mile, advance and retard the ignition whilst riding and take 10 minutes to get it going just to go for a little ride and break down on a single track road somewhere unknown spin

Yeah sorry, we decided we couldn't stand to part with the old girl! I can keep an eye out for something similar if it's a late 20s sporty single you're after?

Haha, strangely enough one of my fondest memories is laying under a tree next to RAF Marham alongside a dead Vincent awaiting collection. Dunno why but it was so peaceful watching the gliders swoop about, and I'd have never been there if the bike hadn't died biggrin

ETA; and I'd agree about the Revival. It's miles better than the FoS I think. We were planning to go this year but I'm taking the sidecar outfit to the Isle of Wight for a run instead. Shame it clashes but I'll be at the Revival again next year thumbup

He has already called it a Gixxer so I lost interest.

Still not overly keen on the bmw's stroke face. But I'd have one in a shot.

I don't mind the front, it's different.

It's got over (Or on) 200hp now, he stuck a power commander on it or something. He has spent waaaaay too much money it.
Offered me pillion yesterday as well.. I'd rather not.


Should say that the trackbike is a GSXR 750 K5. He is hoping to be at Snetterton this next bank holiday weekend if anyone is going.
