Yeti motorcyclists

[jst_at_home]

I know this isn't quite a Yeti topic but as I own a Yeti and a bike, then there is a link.

This is my new Harley-Davidson XR1200. Not your usual cruiser and a bit of a headturner too. Also, at 90bhp, it's a lot more powerful than my last H-D. And it sounds great!

This is what I ride. 1 man power. The engine fell off somewhere up a 25% muddy climb.

I sold my Triumphs ages ago, got fed up with 16 year olds trying to kill themselves whilst I was teaching them to ride. Did too many miles in a short space of time. Got most of it out of my system. I do occasionally think about getting another one, but I never rode for fun, only work, and wouldn't do it now either. I don't drive for fun either, always has a purpose, but I can see the Yeti changing that!

See my avatar for me on my first bike.

Flickr seems to have changed the way it does links for photos and I can't seem to get it to post here, otherwise my current steed, Yamaha FJR1300, would be the next picture!!!

I'll have to look for another photo hosting site.

Hi John

Nice machine - good to see someone is supporting the 2 wheel arm of the Bowker Group - suspect with the torque from that your knuckles will soon be down near the footpegs!

My Yeti is due by "Month end" but just enjoying the last of the decent weather on my 20 yr old Suzuki VX800 - she may be old but that V twin still put's a smile on my face

Look after that bike..Garth

[Jock]

I have two options ... this:

or this:

Honda Deauville NT700. (I'm the one in the middle, without the helmet!)

This is my little Scoot, Gilera GP800. 800cc automatic Scooter

Great posts everyone. I really like maxi scooters and ran an Aprilia Atlantic 500 a few years ago. Bike or scooter I'm not bothered and I've had both over the years.

Anyone recall the BMW C1? I had a 200cc version. It was really interesting and probably a bit ahead of its time.

Did you ride with or without helmet?

[jst_at_home]

Did you ride with or without helmet?

Both. I recall a number of occasions where I passed police cars coming the other way and they never flinched. I don't think most officers understood the legal bit but as the rider was restrained with a 4-point harness, it was safe.

There was a forum that sought legal advice but I think HM Gov were dead set against allowing helmetless riding.

Having said that, it was bloody cold around the ears!

Again, not a Yeti, but a Fabia. Here's my ride :yes:

That's great, what model is it?

It's a Vespa GTS 300 Super.

I bought a smaller Vespa last year to go alongside my Hornet but then ended up selling both of them and buying this instead.

Once I move house I'll be buying another bike of some sort but the GTS is here to stay.

[mdk1]

The 300's are good little run arounds.

For all those that like the Maxi scoots or smaller ones, have a look on here.
