been on bikes for about seven years having taken my direct access at 21 years old. Cut my teeth on a Suzuki Bandit 600 for three years and then upgraded to a Suzuki SV1000. Superb bike and great way to see the countryside!
Speaking of which i'm off this week, and just about to do a day trip Blairgowrie to Fort William, via the Green Welly at Tyndrum! Superb.... let the sun shine!

Been into bikes for years and I am itching to buy another. I had a KX250 motocross bike for about 3 years which was great fun and dam good exercise too, I then got a ZX6R (G1) which was my first road bike which I kept for about 2 years before I got a brand new GSXR-600 (K3) which was the dogs danglies. I did a track day on it which was great and the best bit was that my mate couldn't keep up with me on his blade even though he was ringing it's neck out on the straights. I had to sell the bike due to spending too much money going on fishing holidays and continual grief from my mum about having 2 kids and the dangers etc. I was very tempted to buy a blade the other day. mint , 1 owner, low mileage and just about affordable but then the heavens opened and it has not stopped since, must be a sign.

Vintage bikes here.
1957 Velocette Venom 500 and a 1960 Viper Clubman 350.
Always had some sort of bike since I was 12 years old riding around the grandparents farm.

Suzuki RF900 for me, not to everyone's taste looks wise but quick enough to scare me  . Doesn't get out as much as it should these days due to work and kids and fishing and stuff that needs to be done around the house and garden and.... etc etc etc, the list never seems to end  |

RC51...just went into storage since moving to Sweden. Too much rain here for me. Do (did) several track days a year...safer than on the streets in the States. Still keep up with WSBK & Moto GP though  |

Ex Ducati person speaking,knackered right hand means sadly had to sell it as I could make it go but couldn't make it stop in a hurry.Every one should try one absolutely glorious,nothing but nothing beats the sound or that shade of Red.
More mid corner grip than poo to a blanket,loved playing at Foggy or Hodgson and stuffing up the inside of rice burners in fast sweepers.Loved riding the A68 from the A1 to Jedborough,Nice!.Yours in perpetual mourning Pedro.

I've always enjoyed motorcycling and despite much pressure from the long-suffering one, I've always managed to continue. When I was younger I spent 8 years as a full time courier, nowadays I mainly just use bikes for commuting 20 miles each way to work through the most monsterous traffic jams, which always makes me smile. I have now a Triumph Thunderbird Sport and a 30yr old Yamaha XT 500. Great fun.

Pit bikes for me. 110CCs of pure mayhem.
Used to think I was invincible but ones of these little bikes proved that I am just a mere mortal, and as the good lady says a bloody stupid one at that.

Got a Triumph Bonneville 790cc with loud pipes and better air filters and have just bought a Yamaha XT350 scrambler for green laning.

stoater is that the Ghost rider video? I think his first was on a bussa turbo and then he moved onto a gsxr1000. Mad stuff,balls of steel or more likely an empty head.

It is a quick bike. ;D ;D ;D I have had most things from Fireblades, R1, GSXR 1000, ZX12R to name a few. The Busa just pulls and pulls like there is no end to the power! Great bike for putting the wife on the back. ;D ;D Mind she also rides the bike.  WM |
