For reasons I can't begin to explain, I bought a cheap R100 last year.

The paint was a bit tired, so I decided that something a bit different was in order.

The colour is a standard BMW offering, though I added the GS stripe for a bit of added bling.

It's like riding an enormous asthmatic purple horse.

Very nice paint job

Nothing wrong with having a throbbing purple thing between your legs.

But on a more important note - these look like the same chairs as I've got in my dining room...



PH - where dining room chairs matter.

Another Chopper fan, you might know my brother possibly. He's usually involved in these meets, works at Giant in Newport.
Got a very early MK1 Tomahawk in my shed and back in the early mid 70s had a MK1 Chopper in metallic green, mate had a Chopper Sprint. Sold a mint 5 speed chopper a few years ago.

Bikes of a different sort for me today.

MK Chopper ride out, real laid back day out with plenty of laughs, I think the age group ranged from 2 to nearly 70..ome very smart and tricked out stuff on show

I like it. I don't know why, but I do! :-)

You wanna sit on my Chopper John..?

Might take a bit of climbing on but I'm sure it'll be a good ride Bryan.

Thats manly Birky, you'll not believe it but there are "men" who can't get it up.

That right bag isn't long for this world... Slightest bit of lean and it will be dragging.

Silly sods.

Always wondered, is there a SWL specific to each bike? Or just a combination of max load on tyre and what police deen dangerously loaded or not?

I’m one of them. I’m still waiting for you to teach me so I can be as cool as you!

Spotted this couple out yesterday.

I’m not knocking them for enjoying a motorcycling tour, but at what point do you say “nope - that’s too much stuff for a bike”?



Don’t let the wife do the packing...

The answer is once you’ve packed a credit card, a lighter and a pack of cigs. Non smokers should stop at a credit card. Everything needed can be bought and disposed of along the way.

Not me................. I’m happy to admit to being a woman when it comes to wheelies.

[Biker's Nemesis]

My mate Paul25 is as fast as fook and he can't wheelie.

He's also as Gay as a row of Pink tents.

Frustrating that you can't put short videos on here as it was 3 Aprilia v4s and it sounded pretty good

I think the manual for my bike says max load of 180kg to include rider/s and luggage.

Square looking badge on the car makes me think its an old Lincoln town car and isn't the bike an f800gs that moanthebairns has a favourable review of

[Prof Prolapse]

I'd guess, it's a 1978 Lincoln Town Car.

I say, "guess", I mean I actually just read his profile.
