Seeing as I'm on a midweek rest day & it's stopped raining for what seems like the first time in weeks I took the SV650 out for a spin.
I was going to take a photo at the local windmill but,I would have had to ride down a muddy track...

I have a lovely memory from when I was a teenager of walking down that lane with a girl on the way back from a party at around midnight :)

Bit fucking nippy this morning at 0715 and had to de ice the other motor to get the bike out for the ride to work …. Saw some poor bugger go arse over tit while walking along the frozen footpath …. Giggled quite a lot then tried to forget about the possibility of black ice

There would have been a lot more, but I didn't take any pics of the 50+ Ducati's & Bimotas.

Last weekend- it was muddy!

(I posted this in the off-roading section but by the look of it only two or three of us ever go in there so I've put it here too so that everyone can enjoy my supreme video editing skills :1 )

Took the Serow out today, first time for months - it suits the little roads round here. Lovely crisp Jan afternoon.

My mate has one,I think he's had 3 of them over the years.
These days he's one of those blokes who spends more time in the man cave than riding.The other year the Z13 was sharing the man cave with a XS1100 & XT500.Now besides the Z13 there's a XJR in there.He reckons for moving around the XS1100 was the heaviest of them.

XS1100! I'd forgotten about them! A mate chopped his RD400 in for one when we were yoofs. We were all like WTF! But man he could hustle that old Bus! :D

Monstrously weighty and from memory,quite high in the seat too. Fast,smooth power in their day,but they were never as visual as the Honda 6.

My mates Dad had a CBX and his mate had the Z1300. The Kwaks rad definitely spoilt visual. ISTR the Kwak was the better bike to ride though?

I never rode a CBX 6 so I can't compare,but I had a GS1000 when I had a run on the Z13 and it didn't make me want one!

CBX scared the crap out of me when I rode one. I had a RD250 at the time and got a go on my mates Dad's CBX. I got out onto a straight road and wound it up. I never knew I could put the scenery behind me that fast and bottled out at 130! :shock: :lol:

There would have been three of those 13's. The guys in the pic left the RockStore shortly before a mate showed up on his one to meet them.
The guy on the left also has a ZRX & an H2 (the new blowy version), the guy on the right has a "full set" of 13's.
