****ING love bikes, my other passion...i want to tour the world, also got some tattoos in my mind; bio mech engine heart on my chest, autonomy with a twisting throttle arrow round it on my right wrist (throttle wrist)
gorgeous girl on the back, glorious bike underneath, stunning road under that...and a hefty bank account balance = living the dream
Peugeot ludix 2 stroke 50cc
first beast put a LED and bigger headlight mod in this bad boy....bought her for 300quid spent and now my brother spends a fortune trying to keep her ****ing running, quickers 2t scooter...and most unreliable...had nearly a full engine replacement and god knows what else...our mechanic cant fix it claims its possesed been with him on and off for year.
had 1 or 2 slips at like 3mph in the wet, only proper crash was on ice and i binned it into the pavement, broken panel keep on going
Honda varadero v-twin 125cc bought at 1100gbp 2002 2500miles on the clock, sold at 1000gbp 12,000 on the clock
First bigger bike, after 6 months on the scooter, brilliant bike never fixed anything but fork seals in 14 months of owning her, topped out at 80mph downhill wind behind her, loved that bike had one crash where i did an s bend and low sided in like a pendulum effect, first propper off
off roading *****es...sort of
crash
*SPOILER* somewhat gruesome...my dad nearly fainted haha
****ing wore jeans not my armoured trousers for first time in months...:@, elbow is still a bit errr mushy and knee just aches in colder weather it got infected at the time too, nice scar.
Drove to the bike shop got a quote to fix it, cleaned out my legs, made my jeans into shorts then drove to hospital for x rays on the bike i had just crashed ^^
latest bike, first proper big one, selling her now...tonnes of mods. Bandit N600 2003
down geared, new HID projector headlights, new levers and shifters all round, crash bungs, new gel seat, fly screen, belly pan, blue flame exhaust, bar end mirrors, renthal bars.
bought for 1100gbp spent 400 or so fixing the idiot who hads it befores error, new headlights as head ricer ****ty ones which were like a torch, replaced chain and full front brakes system because he wore through the disk
never dropped it, had a few clsoe calls the first week...to much power in 1st/2nd, lost back wheel in the wet etc...was fun! love this bike but time for a change good first foray into bigger cc bikes, she handles okayish and is a bit err of a common bike but i made her my own...oh and apeture stickers
>
Honda vfr499 1991
New bike im getting after this sells...guy wants 1800gbp, original 1991 honda vfr400cc...amaxing bike quicker than the bandit, lighter, handles like its on rails...going to track day, spring and hill climb it with and old set of beaten up panels.
