Come on then, with that great V8 sound and raw quality, how many TVR owners are ex (or present also if they`re lucky) bikers? I think its the closest thing to the experience of a bike on four wheels and I am an ex biker (many years ago though!!)

Yes I too am guilty, had plenty of bikes, now just down to 3, a bandit, an off roader DT 175, and a 1971 Triumph SS Blazer. Oh and a Tuscan too.

I've been biking for 24 years now, started at 16 .... err, which makes me 21 now. Currently blapping round the countryside on a T509 Speed Tripple , and a Chimaera until the weekend when it becomes a Tamora.

So it seems my thoughts were correct then. I might give away my age a little here (if anyones old enough to remember!!) but my last bike was a Suzuki GT720 2 stroke triple water cooled (known as a "Kettle" for obvious reasons!). With 3 into 1 exhaust on it sounded absolutely brilliant!! Anyone remember or am I too old for you lot?! Nice wheels qualityscrew - all 8 of them!

I'm old enough to remember Ian, I have recently sold my "old" bike -



Great bike, but nowhere near as much fun as a TVR.

Same era Neil, my mate had one of those - don`t know how to post pics on here so next time you`re round I`ll show some of the Kettle!!! I`ll email you later (got work to do!) Did you get out over the holiday? We had loads of guests but still got out a couple of times.
