Twenty years ago I was riding one of these:

Around the tight twisty roads of the south Lake District it was perfect, a real big bike slayer. Still a looker in this day and age IMHO.

I have no idea why but I’m strangely drawn to one of these. Must be an age thing 😉

go on you know you want to….

Harley

Triumph Bonneville – 60s

Yamaha DT – 70s

go on you know you want to….

how could they start with the gl1000 and end up with that fugly piece of shite!

Ah yes. The Fantastic Britten. Remember seeing them racing at Snetterton in the early to mid nineties and then seeing one in the museum in Wellington. RIP John Britten.

RIP Mark Farmer.

Agree with the street tracker look being fantastic, especially the ones from Deus.
Lots of great bikes posted here.. http://www.pipeburn.com/

Do imaginary ones count?

25 years ago I had one of these….

Tuned it and rode it as hard as I dare 8)

I’d love to get another bike…

…and I always wanted a Suzuki RGV250 or Kawasaki KR1S

It was nearer 30 years ago that I had one. Well, two actually. Then a ypvs then an RD400. Ying, and indeed, ding.

Going back to the above – here’s a Goldwing I would like!

25 years ago I had one of these….

My best mate died on one of those many moons ago. 😥 Good lord that thing was quick. 😯

RAAARR

and for special occasions…

Theflatboy…. Niceish but the cafe racer bikes are not my thing. I prefer it in original form.

The old man had one of these back in the day. Should have kept it!

Saw this at Mallory Park Festival of 1000 bikes back in 2011, Ogri would be proud 🙂

My very special Triumph ISDT square barrel

My much modified Commando (alloy barrels)

A bit of a marmite bike, but I think my GSA is cool…

epicyclo, very nice, the pictures date you quite a bit!

Is that a Ford V8 Pilot?

Esselg – stunning! Loving the Indian 😀

Wrecker – the Yamaha is also a thing of beauty

It’s an Armstrong-Siddeley Whitley (also mine). I got it for peanuts with a frost cracked engine block. Got some special high temp epoxy from Ciba-Geigy, smashed the cracked bits off and then glued it all back together. 🙂 (Yes, it worked).

The Norton Inter was a mate’s. It used to frustrate him that my wee Triumph could blow him away, but it was so light I could lift it off the ground.

And more recently

I did 10,000miles on this one when I was in Oz last year

And if you don’t think this is cool then you weren’t there maaaan.
