Haven't had a bike for a while, had a few road bikes but enjoyed trials and trail bikes too, Bacchus steeds were

Yamaha FS1E (of course)
Suzuki T100
Montesa 247 Cota
BSA 175 Bantam
Bultaco 350 Sherpa
Yamaha xt550
Ducati 900sd
Suzuki GS550
Honda CB400n

eBay and alcohol are a terrible thing so may get a little xl250 or dt175 to play with, or a Di Blasi for the boat (then I will get drummed out of bike club...)

Love 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.

It's actually quite reliable - used to ride it to work every day. Does need constant low level attention. Cheap insurance / no tax / no depreciation / cheap parts / 75 mpg.

Regards

This is a bike thread, start your own thread if you want to talk scooters.

I would but I'd be on my own unless there are some 16 year contractors on here

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

The trick is to go fast enough through traffic that you're only in danger for a few milliseconds at a time......

I've really got to get abroad!

From my days in Madrid I used to ride a Burgman 400cc scooter and here I bought the equivalent from yamaha. Very good for getting into the centre of Leeds and and space under the seat for 2 helmets good for doing the shop at kirkgate market too.
