Love my bikes possibly my biggest passion ahead of golf and martial arts oh and probably ahead of HID to!
Was brought up around them, recently got my insurance through from a car prang in December last year, plus just sold my now old bike last month which was an R6. Have split part of the insurance and put the money from sale of my old bike toward the purchase of an MV Agusta F3 675. Got it in black/anthracite can't wait until it arrives I'm more excited than a fat kid in a biscuit factory!
My old man has a Triumph bonneville he only takes out on sunny days, my brother also has a Triumph but he has the Daytona in awful puke yellow!
Hoping to get along to some BSB & WSB races this year and road tripping on the bike with my dad & brother next year to the TT.

Honda VFR800i,( my third ) preceded by Yamaha FJ1200, Honda CB500, and Honda CX500 ( my first 'born again' bike ). A few before that and my first a Vespa 150 about 1960.
Only been out once this year; the buzz is still there.

GPZ750 A1 street fighter. Just finishing off the custom tail piece then getting the spraying done. Really must have a day off the course to finish off the mould and get the thing layed up and fitted.
Keep looking at tail light units for it on fleabay. Found a few but can't make up my mind other than it will have integrated indicators.

Recently sold my Triumph Street Triple R - gutted. Too many aches and pains from too many injuries to carry on biking. Now looking to get an open top sports car... probably a hairdresser's MX5.

Love bikes , wasn't without one for years ,last one a Yamaha TDR 250 was stolen ;( had a load of boring bikes before but had a zxr600 ninja for about a year before the TDR , amazing machine but hard to control yourself with that much acceleration , thinking of getting another next year but need to pass my car test as I've realised that golf requires better transport options , would like to get a bike I can fix myself so something old on the cards , thinking cafe racer

Sold my suzuki gsxr750 about 4 years ago really miss it and want another but HID isn't keen and now I have 2 young daughters she is very sure that I don't need one. Gutted really but like she says its not that she doesn't trust me on it but its the idiots on the road that she doesn't trust and it only takes one fool to pull out in front of me.

I can't wait for it to be ready for me, but I console myself and the waiting with this image from their website sitting pride of place on my desktop screen at work as this is the exact colour I have on order.

In this case, I agree with her! I am not responsible enough to ride a decent bike without bordering on reckless. Kids need a dad.
I have got plenty of other toys to keep me out of mischief....

Awesome bike. Miss mine like hell. 1st of the fuel injection models. Drop a few teeth on the front sprocket for even better wheelies lol
Micron road legal can with the baffles out sounds amazing. Wear plugs though.
Enjoy and keep it rubber side down.
