Currently bikeless
Used to have a Triumph SprintST until some dozy bint drove through me from behind, crippling me for three years and leaving me in pain for the rest of my life.
Will be getting a new SprintST soon, I hope

Cheap insurance / no tax / no depreciation / cheap parts / 75 mpg.Originally posted by vwdan View PostLove that - not sure I could 'live' with a classic bike, though. I love my classic cars and they're irritating enough - I quite like having a bike that just starts and works as I expect.
