ok ive been into bikes ever since i can remember however do to not seeing the point in owning a road going 50 i got my first road bike at 22

kawasaki kr1250

then came kawasaki zzr600 e4

bought this to run along side the zzr a peugeot speedfight 100

sold them both and bought this zx6r j2

i took a year off bikes but due to a split with a ex and me moving back home i had some spare money and bought these 2, a nc30 and yz400

the nc30 quickly made way for this zx7r

sold that to help purchase my new house! 7 months in the new house and this arrived gsxr 600

that made way for my fireblade rr6

my wrists started to give way after 18 months and 20k so i sold it to buy a 954 fireblade and a car for general running about

well due to my wrists i crashed it!!! so after 4 years i got tempted back by the cheap running of a moped hence the arrival of the jetforce 125

well that didn't last long due to it being rubbish and made way for a honda pcx 125

i then sold my vrs and the temptaion got to much i traded the pcx in for my triumph speed triple

[FUBAR]

What a collection!!!! Pleased to see another ZZR600 pic the 954 is my fav of the collection I think

[steve954]

thanks mate, the 954 and kr1 are the 2 i hated most for 2 very different reasons.

Thats another healthy list from born again upgraded nicely as you went too! Any pics to share? Especially of the Lambretta??

[lotusunbeam]

I so wish i'd bothered to take some pictures of the early years. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. At the time having fun was probably the only thing on my agenda.

Have a link to the Lambretta Resto' if it works.

Sadly didn't get chance to book any test rides and to be honest would have struggled to decide which to go for ...... so many great bikes.

Did sit and have a bounce on quite a few though Including Max Biaggi's - he must be a lot smaller than me, is all I can say !!! :think:

What is your dream bike from the show?

[sarahvrs]

What is your dream bike from the show?

Ooooo that's a toughie - always love the Ducati monsters, but for me and probably bike I could handle happily it would probably be the Suzuki GSR750 or the Kawasaski 636 ................ ok you got me, can't pick

Monster stand looked awesome on the coverage of the show on Eurosports. The new 636 looks fantastic.

[FUBAR]

You guys crack me up with this stuff lol.

[FUBAR]

Merry Christmas to my biker brethren.

[sarahvrs]

Oh no Fubar - don't start with the puns - once you start you can't stoppie it :no:

Merry Christmas to you all

[FUBAR]

And some festive fun suggestions for the biker community:

[sarahvrs]

Gladys Gladius and I have just had our first ride of the year :yes: - Beautiful skies but still cold. Might take the two legs out for a run too later when I can feel them again

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and loads of great ride outs for 2013 :happy:

Oh dear, I thought the wiper blade type rubber on my gloves were bad!

[FabiaTom]

My SV, (A bit wet compared to a Z1000 I admit) But I love it none the less.

I don't have any on my gloves, I have seen the ones on index finger and I do actually want some but I am a bit paranoid on my gear especially now and never found a pair that suited my needs aside form the blade.

My SV, (A bit wet compared to a Z1000 I admit) But I love it none the less.

Nice SV650 looks like new, always love to see a well kept bike, I would consider one or an ER6 as a replacement to my bike if I sell it and buy a house commute distance dependant! Left side profile of an SV always make me go "WOW where's the down pipe!!??" then I remember its offset to right

[FabiaTom]

They ain't a mark on it, not one!

Braided hoses, heated grips are good and I have put the original pillion handle back on after falling out with my top box (for work) head down at 100+ mph with a 51 litre top box. Near disaster!

My late and to date favourite bike in actual configuration in pic fairly heavy on its wheels there was stable at 140-145mph on autobahn a few days before that pic in Dragon country was taken, I was rather surprised! But without the boxes would hit its limiter with ease and plenty of usable RPM's left. 55mpg ish on a tour :( what a bike!
