fk yeah, bring it on. I cant wait to get out there on my full faired sportsbike, spill it a 5 mph then spend the next 3 months on ebay looking at fairings that cost the same as a family holiday.

I thought old age made you more miserly not less?

Looks familiar, where is it? summers day my arse, it was 4 degrees here today.

Somewhere between Wales and Yorkshire, sorry not being cryptic it is a still taken from a pals video so not sure exactly where. 4 degrees Yorkshire lad, cold doesn't bother us, I didn't even have my big knickers on

My guess would be Peak District.

It's the Arch Nemesis of the Nuda, a Duke Hyper.



Never got to ride a Nuda but looks like a lot of fun and the BMW engine probably more reliable than the Duke. It will be interesting to see what KTM bring out next year in the space, the spy shots of the new KTM twin not really doing it for me.

I'd assume this is the only comparable KTM...



2014 690SMCR - Took it out for a lap round snetterton and realised how high up you are on a sumo and how soft I had the suspension set so pulled right in and back out on the K5 1000.

I'd of thought The 950/990 SMR are more comparable from a KTM perspective?

Your sunglasses and trainers withstood the test of time.

Everything else... Not so much.

Ok I have reviewed the. Video. We could make a little quiz here. It is not the Peak District.

Sure does, sounds even better without the baffles. However it bangs and pops on the over run at anti-social levels.

I look forward to the day that the Bike Shed or Bike Exif feature the re-creation of an authentic 1970s custom.

Mine was a cafe racer Norton Dominator, but, thankfully, I have no photographs.

That BSA M33 cost me the princely sum of £25 and it was 1 year older than me, so in that pic it would be 19 years old in 1974. It was a BSA M33 from 1955 500cc single. At that time I was running a Honda CD175 as my main bike and this BSA was one I was going to return to standard, a guest at our hotel seen the BSA and made me an offer on it that I took, never seen it again after that, it was a good runner and started first kick ... as long as you got the timing right The principle role for the M33 was hauling sidecars around, the frame was made with the points to attach a sidecar to it.

Should have looked something like this:

Today's dive into my old photo albums is from the Clansmen MCC's "Call it a Hunch" rally





We had some fun and games at these rallies too, tug of war in which our club won a case of beer
