Would love something fancy oneday! but I don’t think the roads can realistically take one.. had the steering wheel ripped out of my hands in my Hilux the otherday on a bad pothole, would of written off a supercar I’m sure!!

Im a compulsive buyer, but have rammed my purchases, Im more into my classics. Although i seemingly have just bought a ex nascar truck… That said its unlikely to depreciate, and i can buy it outright. When i bought my Fez the monthly’s were killer let alone the 90k balloon :D
WTF is a Fez???????

all this bike talk is making me hanker to get summat out this year ...
all me shafty Kwaks're now exempt, but'd need some fettling - not been ridden in some time :( ...
but I do love 'em :):cool:
don't trust the cam belts on the Wing - been stood several years and without doing them I'd not want to crank it over, even though it's only got 14k on the clock :( having a belt let go'd be 'kiiiiiin 'spensive :oops:
FJ 1200's pretty accessible and great fun ... :unsure::unsure:
or
go buy summat :giggle: .... getting it past 'the boss' without being noticed'd be the issueo_O:unsure:

He who dies with the most toys - wins.
If that's the game then I'm doing okay! Sadly I think it would be kinder to those following me not to follow that mantra. If I can plan it right I'll end up on my death bed owning nothing more than a blanket and a bowl and a spoon. Mind you, given the state of the health care system these days that is looking more and more likely!

LOL ... every now and again I get sat down to 'revise the spread sheet' of what I have 'stashed', in case I go first. We've never actually completed it though, as summat always interrupts the task .... and it is a loooong way short of what I'll leave behind ... the bottom line, as it is, is £:oops::oops:o_O and she doesn't wanna get ripped off, ultimately (and neither would I want to see someone take the piss either) . :mad:

I want another bike.been on sports bikes till 2000 when I sold a gsxr750 to buy my first mini digger ,a case cx15.been without a bike till last year. And bought a hypermotard but sold it in October due to being hellishly uncomfortable.id buy an 765rs but none available till Nov so im told and nothing else takes my fancy,apart from another gsxr. But at 61 I can’t bend to fit on one
nick...
You don't need to bend over a sports bike nowadays ...they only make sense on really rare occasions that are becomingeven rarer, something like a 1290 superduke or mt10 etc do it all in comfort.

I love a big single but the 650s are too vibey at higher revs. Not keen on the weight of an R1200GS either.


I’m hoping the triple in the Triumph will still give me the torque I love but in a smoother manner. I might start with an older 900 (looking at one locally Monday). 2006, fuel injected so hopefully relatively trouble free.
there a bloody lovely bike to ride,smooth and powerfull

Made the best of the beautiful couple of days here in Kent. The 996 got a clean and polish and is back on the road after it had 2nd gear was rebuilt. The 348 had a wash paint cut then polish followed by a Ceramic coating, Then every wheel off and a suspension and wheel arch polish just to impress the MOT tester later this week! A couple of weeks ago I removed the Air Plenium and cleaned it up then resprayed it red before refitting,

Same....RS ...but apparently almost impossible to get new ..stitched up back handers only I hear 🤬
Such a Ridiculous situation, most just end up back on the market for stupid over priced, others are just sold onto others without making the mainstream! Very few genuine enthusiasts get to own them without paying over the odds!!
