No longer have a motorbike anymore. Suddenly had the jitters after 17years of riding and moved over to a car completely.

Honda hotnet btw.

I bought the TDR in 1991 when it was 6 months old with 700 miles on it. The first owner (aged 68!) PX’d it for something really bland as he thought it was too manic for his daily commute.
I did loads of mods to it including the following:
285cc big bore and wide spread porting by Bob Farnham
Front exhaust pipes gutted and DEP silencers
TZR250 wheels etc.
I sold it to a good friend and am still involved with the bike. The supermoto wire wheels with fat rims are recent additions and it rolls really well on those as well as finally getting the look that I was after.

Gah – forgot to take pic of bike on ferry. Can just about manage one of my cabin!

Here he is, getting all “adventure” in Aragon, Spain. Surprised it was completely okay to ride 160bhp bike offload, to be honest. Not an issue at all, once I remembered to disable ABS.

Lovely café racer hunterst, your own work?

That cafe racer is a stunner!

Not exactly my bike, but I’m the one in front of the car!!!

Now sadly gone – my last motorised steed before the pedal powered bikes took over…

Husaberg 450 up a mountain in the Pyrenees….. It was a very close shave with what could have have been a very serious accident up in the mountains on this trip that caused me to reconsider my dirt biking hobby.

MTB’s were the only way forward.

Not exactly my bike, but I’m the one in front of the car!!!

You’re on the wrong side of the road you plum!!!
😆

Sold the Daytona so only have this one now…..

Can I play? Realise I am stretching it a bit but who cares 🙂

Inspired by this post, I took mine out today. I was 22 degrees and a lovely ride.

Photo is a couple of years old now. Bike on bike

1966 Dnepr K-750M with sidecar, 2 wheel drive and reverse.

Also have an original BSA C15 pre-65 trials which is currently being restored and a boring modern Honda CB500X.

Nice ball slicer on the pillion seat there

Now it’s all pedal power in my garage

I went the other way when mtb standards went nuts, at least an old two stroke is already a smokey, oily, prone to eating itself thing that’s challenging to get parts for and somewhat obsolete!

Poor thing is now providing the base for a worktop in the garage. Don’t want to ride it, can’t bear to sell it, ah well…

SV650S with upgraded everythings.

That Honda is a real cracker. Can’t beat a 1970s Honda.

Can we have some more pic please.

I don’t even ride motorbikes, but that Honda VFR is as close to perfect (looks wise) as you can get in my worthless opinion. It’s a thing of beauty. No idea if they’re any good though?
I remember building an Airfix model of one when I was about ten.

Languishing deep at the back of the garage

Tomaso, is that an xbr? I really like those…

Don’t know how to embed the image from Flickr.
Kawasaki Ninja 650R Krt 2017. Only had it for two weeks so still running in.

Just been to look at an Enfield trials bike but not up to much. What I really want is an old Triumph Trophy ISDT bike 😆 or something that could become something vaguely similar.

@tootallPaul yes it started out as an XBR500 but now has CBR600 forks wheels and brakes, chopped subframe with some random race seat and NX650 engine conversion. I really should dig it out.

It’s no garage queen, 12,000 miles a year, all year round… 🙂
