A 1998 Fireblade road bike and a 1976 RD250 racebike. There might have been a 2009 Transalp 700 too, can't remember if that was bought in 2011 or 12.

A Husqvarna SMS610 which I'd got sick of and wasn't using, which led to me not riding a bike for a few years, which made me a miserable twat to live with.

I knew the 'C' was the cruiser thing that James Bond rode, I just googled the CL.

You either really wanted a German made Road Glide, or you really need corrective spectacles.

The CL had fixed panniers and top box. It was a right lump but I went round Europe many times on it. Never missed a beat.

Wish I’d kept the little Piaggio really miss having a 2stroke.

Not the FJ that needed some serious money spent on suspension and brakes.
