present bike.


Some lovely bikes there, I'm a big fan of Guzzis. Back in the day I bought a T3 California from Three Cross Motorcycles and rode it 300 miles home the same day. Love the Venom too, quite understated but with a TLS brake upgrade.

My list in chronological order:

BSA D1 Bantam - field bike
Triumph Tiger Cub - first road legal
Kawasaki Z250 - blew the engine
Honda CD200 - winter hack for early 1980s
Triumph Ti40V Bonneville - loved it but horribly unreliable
Suzuki GS 550 - typical UJM, reliable but bland
Yamaha RD350 YPVS - huge fun but got stolen
Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP - Far too effin fast
Yamaha TDR 250 - huge fun B road bike, hill climbed it a fair bit
Triumph T150 Trident - Smooth, fast enough, a bit heavy
Triumph Sprint 900 - Hinkley bike, fast, comfy, great tourer.
Triumph T140V Bonneville - Back to my first real love. Pampered and hardly used.

Finally some paint on the frame - it feels like we've turned the corner.

As you say. Turning point to the really enjoyable part of assembling all the pre-prepared shiny bits and seeing the bike come alive. More pics please as it progresses.

We all have regrets about bikes and cars we moved on from and wish we'd kept. The bike I wish I still had was the Comet. The exhaust valve had burnt requiring replacement and new seat. The head was blasted ready for required worked then I got distracted and it was sold on together with Triton.

I was building this little monster, but she had to go to help fund the Mog (and I needed the parking space). Never got to run her down the strip (or road - she was street legal).

What a bunch of Two-Wheeled Tarts you lot are ... flitting promiscuously from bike to bike!! 😄

My list, spanning 57 years of biking:

Triumph Tiger Cub
BSA C15
BSA Bantam D16
MZ TZ250
Jawa 350
1963 Triumph 500 Speed Twin
1947 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead

The last two on the list are still in my garage after 45 years and 43 years of ownership respectively .... I just found a couple of bikes that suited me down to the ground and kept riding them 🙂
