how many of us are BIKERS (na not push bikes)

[nigeninja]

I think what car has been done so its about time we had a what bike do you ride, cos as we all know bikes are the ultimate mode of transport[]

Anyway mines an Aprilia RSV,not got a pic yet but when its day time I will take one,cos she's beautiful and she's called April[][]

[rajicon]

Thats a **** fine bike, the RSV.

Although I have had a full bike licence (no restrictions to capacity)

for ten years, its been sometime since I owned one. But I do go dirt

biking occassionaly. Would love to get a mid sized road bike one day,

say around 600.

Would love to see some pics of your Aprilla.

Nothing beats a old 500cc "go always... go anywhere " Honda 500

But would prefer a more modern ktm.

Don't fit on no racers   the one's i have been on anyway, no room for the legs! lol

 

a well, when i have actually a licence for the motorbike it would be better

For years I used to be into the motor cross seen riding a Yamaha YZ250 , but I eventualy got out of it ( my body got too beat up ) . Now I just have my 02' Honda Shadow Spirit for crusing around ...

PLEASE becarefull out there lads. A friend of mine put his Gixer1000 it to a wall on Saturday. Broke his neck and was pronounced dead at the scene. []

Was only 37, left behind wife and to kids, aged 2 and 4.

Take care all

[Tinno]

Man that sort of thin brings a lump to my throat. only a little older than me, Kids the same age as my two, Condolences to his family.  See what you can do the help em out (even if its taking the kids out to the park for a couple of hours.) Its that sort of stuff that really helps y'know.

It'll probably help you grieve a little, but we all do that in a different way I suppose. (It would help me I'm sure)

It really is sily season out there. One of my work colleagues was sideswiped off his bike on a roundabout on Friday (He's o.k.) but it was the guy in the car not looking (as usual)

Sorry, personally, not a biker, seriously considered it on many an occasion. Just like my little tin can I drive around in too much.

 

[Floyd]

Wow! Talk about a topic killer ( no pun intended at all )  Sorry to hear about that Dumbiron , but I think youve efectively put an end to any other replies in this post ....*sigh*

[WillyChang]

Hate to admit it, but the French have got one thing right.

If all road users started off on bikes like they do in France, when they 'graduate' into cars and larger vehicles they will always "Think Bike".

 

Just read Ewan McGregor's book too, where the 2 guys rode their BMWs around the world. Even obi1 managed to get rear-ended by an idiot driver...!!

 

[nigeninja]

don't think has worked

[Fantuzzi]

I've got a Honda XR400R Enduro bike for different Hobby competitions and currently sold my big banger XR600R.

For the italian moments I've just bought a Cagiva Elefant 750 Marathon "Lucky Explorer"

 

[nigeninja]

Well for some reason I could not post a pic in here,go to my showroom its on the opening page[]

You mean " Long Way Round "?

Was it good? I was thinking of buying the boxset thingie..

[bangstick]

My bikes the main pic in my showroom, zxr 750 racetuned, dynojetted, akropovic full race system, this thing spits flames out when going down through the box hard. Ridiculous amout of fun for £1250. Got it off the bay like everything else i buy these days lol, hence the little camera in the corner of the pic before anyone says 'hey thats been ripped off the bay' lol

[bangstick]

Oh almost forgot, lots of people die each year crossing the road, smoking, drinking, and all other types of mundane things. Dont live life worrying about other peoples misfortune otherwise you would never leave the house and LIVE!

[twisty]

Sad to hear about your friend though dumbiron but he probably loved doing what he was doing too.

[nigeninja]

my bike

[nigeninja]

my again

[fatboyslim]

I had a Honda VFR400 (NC30) about 4 years ago, but I had to sell it to raise some cash[:'(][:'(]

Lovely bike only problem was it was a Japanese import so the speedo was in kilometres!!

I can't find any of my pics but this is exactly the same as mine (was!!)

Yep, that's the one.

Methought the idea was sound, the pictures were pretty decent but the narrative was fairly ordinary. Way too much uncensored swearing too... that would put me totally off buying it.
