I'm a biker so my other interest is anything bike related.

I sold my ZX6r a couple of months ago. Tempted to save for a VFR800 2004 shape. I had the old 2000 great bike

Had a few bikes over the years, RD125Lc, Vfr400 (NC24 & NC30) Fzr 400 3TJ and a Ductati 916SPS.

Quite fancy one of these one day

The new version looks good too

Had many bikes over many years,the one I had the longest was a Norton interstate which I had and loved for 22 years,longest I have had anything apart from wife,broke my heart when I finally sold her I was getting too old for motorbikes,still never did cure that oil leak, went to a good home guy who had a collection of Norton's,spent a good few hours cleaning that old girl,if she is still about she would be 35 years old now,happy christmas everybody on Mayhem,Ray

That was not a leak it was a cunning feature of many British bikes and cars of the time.... self changing oil

O M G ........They are even better than thinking about it, never mind doing it!!!!!

Orgasmic!!!!

you've just started off my new year very badly

peter61_uk · « **Reply #13 on:** January 03, 2014, 02:38:42 pm »

Here's one of my latest builds ........ It started life as a Tamiya 1/12 scale kit of a Suzuki Katana. Then I chopped it up a bit.

troutrunner · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2014, 09:42:47 pm »

This is "Rosie" that's the name she came with, paid £500 quid for her a few months back but has a few issues to sort out this spring before I can finally go for a ride

essex2visuvesi · « **Reply #15 on:** January 26, 2014, 05:17:01 pm »

Is that the original colour?

davidm1945 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2014, 06:13:41 pm »

My first bike was a 175cc BSA Bantam in blue with cream fuel tank sides. Being a 2 stroke it belted out white smoke wherever I went. If I dropped the fuel/oil ratio the engine would seize and lock the back wheel. It would only do a little over 40 mph - just as well really! I sold it and bought a 250cc Royal Enfield Crusader Sports in Burgundy Red - beautiful bike - wish I had it now......

No I don't think it's an original colour, just the colour the chap I bought from liked, no worries to me it'll serve it's porpoise

Now I would love a Royal oilfield I mean Enfield, I had an ex police 250 Clipper and sadly missed to

Oh yes, a large drip tray was the first accessory to buy!

my last bike was a 650 bsa gold flash back in 1965 got fed up with the cold so brought a car first one in 1948 was a 250 cc velosett hand change gears and smoked like hell)

Another biker here, just picked up a new Yamaha Super Tenere last month.
It gets even more fun as it is my only transport so are currently working out how to transport boats on it.
The Springer tug is OK as it fits in the toolbox but the others............

This might be a solution CLICK HERE

warspite · « **Reply #22 on:** March 19, 2014, 03:59:19 pm »

Post #10 - then realised later these are model kits - nice but I like the top ones and yes I agree, they look like lawmaster variants - oooo would love a lawmaster, not stallones that was a convertered moped.

GAZOU · « **Reply #23 on:** March 19, 2014, 04:36:32 pm »

my last bike

Z750Jay · « **Reply #24 on:** March 19, 2014, 05:21:00 pm »

Already have a similar setup - the springer fits in an old manky Givi top box but the passenger seat comes off and there is a plate to fit stuff too. Just right to fix a transport case to - all I will have to do is build the case with shock and vibration in mind!
