Your Favourite Bike

Chris was the owner and he also had a scooter fetish
If the X7 was out of action (probably just out of fuel but we were skint spprentices) then he'd pick me up on a right heap of junk. Lambretta, Vespa I don't know but it had a big Amal carb which use to piss petrol back out on the overrun all over the passengers foot

 

Without a doubt my R 100 RT. Red smoke. Keep it up to 60 in the rain and only your toes would get wet.

BTW as a long time Harley guy I call BS on the 130 mph big twin.

 

Agree on a standard Harley 100-110 is probably top speed,mine was the Twin cam88 engine with a stage 3 big bore kit and other go faster stuff..easily do 130MPH

 

.....which ever one is under my arse, at the time

 

I love my 954RR Fireblade but she was stolen from me

I wish I had kept hold of my Suzuki TL1000S

 

Oh I love this bike. When I am ready to own a 2nd bike....this is defo the one I will be looking to purchase.....R1200S

 

anything with two wheels, engine and a MOT certificate

 

I miss my 954 as well

 

July 1985, got to ride this bad boy

 

Mine was in black. Absolutely a gorgeous bike full of character

 

That’s the model with the restrictor
Ya greet big wussy

 

Hey, at 3yrs old it sowed the seed to ride 3 decades later

 

Had mine for 5 years, the longest I’ve ever kept a bike. Sold it to my cousin who’s petrified of it and doesn’t ride it much, I bet he hasn’t put 500 miles on it in the past 5/6 years,shame really because it went like hell.

 

Well, the x7 is the bike I rode over my ‘testers’ foot when asked to ride at walking pace on my test, I passed!! I still have half of the bike somewhere in my fleet!

 

Part of me fancies one as it’s the prettier one of the r1100s but I know it’s not practical so I run a rockster as a second bike to my Bonneville

 

Buy it back Phil

 

I have toyed with the idea of asking him to sell it back to me, but it’s not for me anymore the roads are just too busy nowadays

 

That was my first proper bike with a set of microns, always wanted allspeeds though

 

You forget how long end cans were back then
