'98 TLR 1000 and an '83 GPz1100. Both, er, 'slightly' fettled

[Graham]

oh you mean motor bikes...

I never quite got around to a bike licence (although was a junior trials champ)

My current 'bike' is an Orange P7 with hope disk brake on the front ( i always thought that was a great name for brakes...) magura on the rear... pace Rc35 forks on the front and in a loverly shade of purple....

must dig her out of the cellar....

[elwood]

Suzuki DRZ400 Supermoto and Norton 750 Commando, not shure witch sounds best the Norton or the Chim.

[Incorrigible]

ZX6R in Kawasaki green

And a Fantic 250 trials bike, which we call "Samuri" on account of whenever we've taken it out it's never failed to draw blood

[5oo fun]

i have a 5L chimaera and race motocross on a yzf426 plus have a ns400r but the car comes out the best.

[alan_d]

I thought you meant bicycles as well! Did 70 miles on my road bike with this morning, but sadly didn't have time for a blast in the Chim.

[Graham]

does the yz250 crosser engine in my kart count ?

[big simp]

Great response guys, and i see some great bikes,

Norton great sound classic cycle, was at the ACE cafe a few weeks ago this rocker had the sweetest Norton ,aw wow blew me away it had Vw pistons in it and was taken out to 920 cc and the noise did my heart good.

Ducati 916 fab bike very focused, i had a 996 sps two years ago loved it to pieces but i guess im to big really for a Duke but they look just unreal, killer to ride and you need 80 mph showing on them before the sort of work right on the road if you have ridden a duke then you will know exc, wot i mean.

RD 500 was cutting my teeth on htose ,my mate has a corker that he will never part with.

Gpzs and gsxr100 nutter bikes i love em i ride an Aprilia Tuono Racing just the same as my previous RSV r but high bars and loadsa carbon ,rides and hadles like a real quick Supermoto.

Take it easy guys the road is hard,,,,,,,,,,,,,

One of my mates has a Kawasaki Ninja ZX9R and keeps trying to persuade me to ride pillion. I've refused on so many occasions now that he's finally given up with the idea...phew!! I have to say whereas speed in cars excites me speed on motorbikes scares me

And then there's that crash helmet... bad hair day!!

I've got a mountain bike, but I don't like that much either. A gel saddle might help!

Then there's the exercise bike down at the gym, but I spend more time talking than working out in any case so that can't count either...

Oh well...at least I've got the Tiv

Hi Big Simp,
Just got a very nice 996 official Red Bull Race Replica.
One of only 20 produced in the UK!!
Sil carbon race system, race chip etc.
Love it to bits.
I also used to have an SPS and I agree that they are a bit of a pain - but hey - it' so close to perfection that you don't give a damn once you are cookin!!
Cheers
SPS

I just sold a reg for an Duc lately it was IIB 996,i had it on my sps and took it off when i sold it ,looked reall great on a Duc.

Good Luck with her SPS and rem, that road thing lol.

Yup - BMW K1200 LTSE for us both & toured Ireland, France, Germany & a week around mid-Scotland in Sep. Plus a BMW K75C for Commuting/shoppin and a '89 Kawasaki VN 1500 SE - twin cylinder 4-valve OHC, twin plug 1500cc 4-speed hooligin machine, shame it doesn't like to go around corners.......but my short legs can actually allow my feet to be flat on the ground!!
