Well at last I dug up a couple of photos of the 2 bikes I have at present.

Aprilia Tuono r V Twin.

Twin Akrapovic exhausts, awesome.

This bike gives you smiles per miles.

At best I can get 120 miles to the tank, at the most fun 80 to reserve.

The Kwack zrx1200s is a very good tourer and comfortable, had it since 2005.

I am loving the Tuono nice to have both practicality and fun without having to compromise! But why do all you guys have more than 1 bike :( I have nowhere to keep mine at moment so its in storage with 2 others :( it was evicted from work by merging another department who raped my storage (if I move stuff around to make space for it they will want that too). I have no access to my bike at all bar in working hours at moment.

Apparently Motorcycle parking at Kendal Brewery - liking the idea though suspect a couple pints might have been consumed prior to sign being written

"But why do all you guys have more than 1 bike :( I have nowhere to keep mine"

The question should be Why havent I got two bikes.

We have because we can................

Plus got a garage with 2 bikes and a Trailer Tent in it.

Plus all my tools and loaads of bits a

& bobs in the roof section.

You just gotta have two bikes.

I for touring or loong distance

Plus one for Fun.......

Makes sense when you think about it.

Not only do you have a big garage for 2 bikes but it's also got a roof section....... I am looking for a house at moment and I find myself looking more for a garage than a house itself when looking lol. My day will come!

Well as Mrs Brown might say:

"I've got two bikes and a Honda" :giggle:

Seriously, not being rude about Honda, but it is only a scoot, albeit a very accomplished scoot (SH300i).

The 'proper' bikes are a duck (ST3s) & a goose (1200 sport). Love 'em both in their own way, but the duke is special because it took me 5 years to find.

Also in the wake of 2 weekends where I would have taken the bike out just passing, when I couldn't as it was locked up somewhere else..... Two more people getting the elbow meant I could ditch/loose their lockers in our changing room :D

Now the Zed is back in town!!!!!!! But it is now fecking snowing again and set to do so ALL weekend :(. This leaves only next weekend and the following to actually get time to use it before I go back into hospital, then that's me off the road for another while again :(

It did slide twice on the concrete road bringing it back to work, much to the delight of two truck drivers sat in layby thinking I did it on purpose :o:D

Done that to many times in my youth... :clap:

I remember one time, on my 350 YPVS, holding on to a mates grail rail and getting a tow to the petrol station 5 miles down the road. Had a sore arm for a few days :swear:

At least you remembered you have reserve - I once pushed my bike at least two miles :whew: thinking I had run out of fuel and then remembered 'Reserve' :blush:

Having sold my 7R a few weeks ago, i've now got to make a decision regarding "wee yella".

Pretty much giving up on road riding, been lucky the past 17 years to not have had a huge accident.

Question is do i sell wee yella or keep her as a track bike? Know i'll get wasted on the straights but can batter anything in the twisties lol.

Am actually finding it more of a struggle contemplating selling wee yella than i was the 7R.

mine wasnt connected on the ZZR600 when I got it and I only realised this when I was mega low and it started to miss so with great difficulty on the move I turned it and it cut out shortly after.... I could see and hear plenty of fuel in tank. I was half way between my home town and a petrol station I refused to stop at as it was 2p a litre more expensive than the one at home. :think: Didn't have anything with me to lock bike and was right at side of a country road nowhere to stash it. A fast taxi was needed to ferry me home to get petrol can, take me to petrol station then back to bike. Taxi driver was awesome he left my petrol can back home for free behind the hedge. :thumbup:

What a cool Taxi Driver :thumbup: - Was never easy turning fuel tap on the move, but to be fair think I only ever had it on the smaller bikes and so was rarely going fast enough for it to be much of an issue :)

Provided it doesn't owe you anything don't sell it, keep it road legal and use for track days, you'll regret having nothing!
