Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Been slack posting these from the other Sunday when I went to watch Tricky at Snetterton. Loads of nice bikes (and a couple of shonky Bandits
) but just a small selection of the ones I liked best.





Then this Sunday I spotted this outside Sportsbikeshop in Harlow, cleaner than mine was back in 97!! But then I bet it's not owned by a skint Uni student.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
They're heavy but I don't think quite that heavy - the cooking model is 200kg & that one will be a bit more but I don't think not 60kg more?Skub wrote: Thu May 29, 2025 5:17 pm Supposed to be a decent road bike,but I'd not want that 260kgs + weight off road.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Out cycling this evening I passed this old boy stood by his bike eating a bag of chips.
As I passed I noticed the engine cases looked odd so went back for a chat.
A royal Enfield diesel. I really like it for being very different.
200 mpg but it'll take you a week to get there

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Older brother has one in yellow & yes he is very different, ever since he was young we reckoned he must be related to the milkman, I'm seeing him in July will see if I can blag a ride on it but don't fancy donning his ancient helmet - probably the same one he's had since passing his test in the late 70's. His previous bikes include a Ural combo, Norton ES2 combo & some some of fibreglass bodied trike, so the RE is a modern wonder as far as he is concerned.A royal Enfield diesel.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
This was sat next to me whilst I was waiting for my bike to be serviced.
Not for sale and going on the cost of the service I think I understand why they're not desperate for the cash.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
In the reception area that Mrs dB went to for work the other day 
There was also one of the Long Way Down bikes & Peter Hickman's lap record TT bike. Quite some reception area.
