On the same estate, Company Shop.

It'll be 2 year on the 18th since I left.

I worked in S75... Tankersley for the last 10 year.

This should have been a poll. Boxers would be least popular, which is odd as the R1100/1150/1200/1250 GS has to be one of the most popular selling family of bikes ever!

I did the Strines, Snake and Woodhead loops today. S73 for me

I was 71 last birthday and have been riding bikes since I was 16.

That's some feat!

Oh, I've never had a boxer either!

Had all the rest tho'

East and West German

Cheesy thread alert. It occurred to me, I've had everything from 1-4 cylinders, 50-1200cc's, twin and monoshock, liquid and air cooled, RWU and USD forks, but I've never had a motorcycle with a radio/stereo or more than 4 cylinders. What haven't you had? Max points if you've never owned an IL4 or so...

I feel sorry for those who have to compromise and have a single do everything bike... tho saying that, it's a great excuse to buy a Multistrada

On my 'slow' bike I specifically plan my route to avoid stuff like dual carriageways, my Enfield keeps up well with traffic on the roads I ride it on :) But I aint never going to go touring on the thing. I hit 120mph today on the parkway with the wife on the back, on the BRB. Everyone needs at least...

Have you seen the full video?

That's probably less than 10% of them in that picture.

I didn't go to the Upper Derwent visitors centre to feed the ducks. So I didn't see that every single car park and verge in the whole of the peaks was full with cars. So much for lock down :) https://scontent-lht6-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/155801734_3644410735594428_972235829267730046_o.jpg?_nc_cat=11...

I bought a brand new R6 in 1999. Got bored running it in proper at about 200 miles. When I traded it in three years later with 27k on the clock it was doing a litre every 100 miles :) I used to strap a bottle of oil to the pillion seat if I was going further than the shops. TBF I did rape it. everyw...

I washed and polished the Bus for a ride out this afternoon (I know that sounds like the wrong order, bust it was filthy after a couple of damp rides). Was just about to gear up and the wife comes out to tell me the washing machine is dead and she's going to see her mum. Then spent 2 hour fixing the...

I've just watched the XJC episode of Wheeler Dealers (on Quest).

They reckoned the 4.2l straight six was betterer.

I likes this. Not £23k like tho'. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LAVERDA-JOTA-1000-CROPREDY-LIBERATOR-1982/154060221000?hash=item23deb46a48:g:V7UAAOSwDjFf~1Xw https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/V7UAAOSwDjFf~1Xw/s-l1600.jpg EDIT: Found some more info if anyone is interested... https://classic-motorbikes.net/...

I considered buying one a few years back. They're kind of like an SV650 on steroids. The only bad thing anyone had to say about them was the EFI/throttle was a bit choppy.
