I'm currently looking at bikes due to being bored of the BMW I bought after about a week. I'm currently drawn to one of these...



I had a 400 as a first bike after my test which is probably why I'm drawn to them. Would I be a complete idiot to actually buy one?
Do it!

I've got a ZXR400, GET ONE!, so much fun!

I'm going to look at one tomorrow. Does anyone have a reason not to get one/things to look out for?

Did the Irish Rally last week on the 64 MAC engine Viper. All in, around 500 miles in four days.
Awesome!

You haven't got a spare old bike you want to lend me so I can come next year?

Looks excellent and would love reading/hearing more about it.
Sorry, I missed this. I may try and do a little write up later smile

And sadly the van had five bikes in already, one each for the three of us, one for our American mate who flew over with her husband to ride and a spare bike (which was handy).

Correct, the MK1 Gamma was the first "big " bike I rode, ive had a soft spot for them ever since, ive never seen a YamaGamma in the flesh or on the road before, this actual bike is featured in Practical Sportsbikes magazine this(or maybe last) month.

Its a lovely build, few things for me too sort but im so excited to be getting it(end of the month)....it is seriously loud, has a lovely set of custom built TSA pipes on it.

The #21 ELR in the one photo gives this Yamagamma away as the very one featured in a magazine this month ?

Did my first day at Dry Stone Walling in the Peak District. Due to the lack of experience, the poor weather and (what the instructor says) crap stone available, between the 4 of us we accomplished 5ft of walling hehe

The old wall removed and the foundations rebuilt:



Me and the lass had the task of constructing the rear face:



Starting to take shape:


Just about there:


Done with the coping stones in place - picture taken of the front (good side)




Really enjoyed doing this today, even with the crap weather!

ETA: Now corrected, mostly paperbag

Do you actually ride that or do you just push it around the garden to take photos?
