Cracking pics, jealous of the bikes....and the weather, lashed it down many times where I am today

Thanks Bryan, weather is starting to get cold up here, not many biking days left.

Out on the Lc's today and we bumped into a mate with his camera.

It is Whitley Bay.

Gay used to be such a happy word before the puffs took it over.

oops...





not the smartest move, decided to lie the tiger down rather then put it on the centre stand, fortunately I escaped with just the brake lever damage, a scratched indicator. Somehow didn't even scratch the handguards.

Finally back on 2 wheels again.
Came with all the essentials.
Evotech Rad/oil cooler protectors and tail tidy, plus BMW touring screen and tank & tail bags. Austin Racing exhaust.
Absolutely love it so far. Should've bought one ages ago!
Excuse the pic, just a quick snap on the way home yesterday.

Felt the same, don't know why it took 2 years before I decided to buy one.

Sport with active suspension too? Tank bag & tail pack next on my list, seem to fit well without causing damage.

Popped into to see a mate who's made this little rack for when I go away and, just needs powder coating

That looks really professional, like an old Renntec rack which I use on my 'Blade, bolts on and off in about 10 minutes and takes a 30 litre drybag easily.

I recently sold these two, the Honda was a frame up rebuild, the Bandit I'd owned from new in 1996...





and after 20 years treated myself to a brand new bike, yes, the forum favourite



which makes a nice pairing to my other recent acquisition

I love that bike! The rack ain't half bad either!

Never thought I'd ever get my elbow down but managed it a few times in almeria. Not the fastest way around a corner but can't complain.

Nice one tim

I have no bikes on the road at the mo so had to commandeer Mrs P's CBR600 for a ride out with my Dad on his Bantam, the CBR really is a brilliant bike, its very comfy, handles brilliantly, feels lacking low down after the GSXR of course but getting to the fizz at the top end makes it brilliant fun..For the asking price of this era of CBR (1999-2001), they are a bargain TBH.






Dad's Bantam going well now, we had some issues with it intermittently running poorly, which was down to the weird choke slide mechanism sticking but it fires first kick and burbles along in style, my Dad loves it and now wants the wheels rebuilding (chrome pitted badly) to make it 100%.

Having fun on my SV



Apologies for the watermark, I have bought the pics but not got them yet.

Had some help cleaning the bike on Sunday. What I really mean is running off with cloths

Then had a couple hours spare so made the most of the nice weather

Awesome shot!

Meanwhile, not that far away, I've been (de-)bonding with my new toy. Turn 3 at Catalunya, so around about a ton when the back end came round and took a photo of me still thinking I can save it.

I know its mainly sports, nakeds and adventure bikes on BB but I'm thinking about swapping my Victory Hammer for something else and had a second test ride on a Indian Chieftain yesterday. I liked everything about it but struggled with buffeting at motorway speeds no matter what position the screen was in. Leaning towards the Dark Horse Chief which is basically as above but no fairing or hard luggage and slightly more rake

I think the Indian brand seems to be much more highly regarded around here though...

Personally I think they look a lot better.
