Favourite picture of your bike

Post by Nidge »

Not sure if we've done this yet but I know some of you have some impressive racing/trackday pics. I don't, but I do have a few pics of various bikes I really like (both dynamic and static)

I was at Silverstone with a bunch of mates and it reminds me of brilliant brilliant times.

That one was bought for Mrs Weeksy as her dream bike.... which never actually worked out, but DAMN what a bike that was and what a find at the time.

If we’re including context, this one is poignant. I always took new bikes to show my Dad when he was alive but didn’t get the chance with my Bonnie

Along the Antrim coast road,close to Glenarm. One of my favourite roads and a great chillout place,easy to find solitude. Just up the road from where I live. Taken a while ago,still a tax disc on the bike. Remember them? :lol:

Dynamic non trackday favourite is this, June 2010 on the Millau bridge. Memories of a great week doing a lap of France with great mates I've known for decades.

I did the same with my mate,he was killed in 2003. The ZX10R was only a rumour and we both were determined to own one when they arrived. It was about three years later I bought mine and took it straight to his graveside.

Static picture
My 900SS Ducati parked in one of my favourite places on the planet. My mother's ashes were scattered on that meadow.
For me it encapsulates what the 900SS is for; Enjoying the countryside.
