Gawd, that Thruxton's nice!

I rode my son's XJR1300 for the first time earlier this week when I picked it up from the bike shop.

My last ride was this - my CBR1000F (since sold):

Nice setup there....

How did it feel riding this week...

You gotta love the feeling of freedom it gives.....

Only thing that tops it (IMO) is gliding (not hang glinding - real gliding)

Yep, the CBR was a nice ride. Bloody awful on gravel roads though.

It felt strange having not ridden for a while. I was very tentative cornering on the wet roads. The XJR has motocross bars (why are they called bars when there is only one?

) so it feels weird. I'll refit the original bars if I can find it in Lee's stuff. I know I packed up a new bar in his motorcycle stuff. I'll hunt it out.

Glinding?

I haven't been gliding for over 30 years. I know that 'cos I have a pic of Elisabeth getting into the Blanik and she wasn't pregnant with Lee - that was about the last time I flew. Maybe I should take it up again.

I have a few bikes, see the pics, but the best of all I sold last year, the one in my avatar, after finishing fourth in the Aussie Title, to save up for a newer one.

I also own a couple of road bikes and do a lot of ks on one and not a lot on the other. I cant find a pic of my GSX-R750.

I have found one in England I want (the blue one) and I am tossing up whether to fly over to look or trust someone else with looking at it. I suppose if I go over I could buy up on Land Rover bits too, MUD console etc.

My babies!

The KLR is mostly collecting dust now

No time to ride her. But the BSA is much more fun any way

Cheers,

Only had my bike licence for about 6 months now. Started off with a postie, but got over that in a few months, now I'm riding a susuki VL250

Fergy

This little thing si just sooooooo much fun. I've had em all and only brought this being opportunistic, thinking it would give me the ****s being underpowered and being a semi naked.

Boy was I wrong! Its a hoot, Goes like a cut snake, weighs about 165Kg, handles like it is on rails and very comfortable. not to mention sounds seeeexxxxxyyyyyy

I called it Fergy cause it pulls like a tractor, n I'm partial to redheads (Dutchess of York)

bikeless but not scooterless, wife has a Bolwell Jolie I'm teaching her to ride. Move her up to a geared bike once she is confident with 2 wheels. LOOOOVe the outfit Jeff, back in 94 got invited to a club day at Wakefield park, got to swing on post classics and moderns and was hooked. i ended up having to buy the set of leathers i borrowed of a mate for the day. I got my hand up if there is an outfit somewhere that needs a swinger.
have always been a fan of inline 4"s the old ones. haven't had one for about 5 years now.
better not read this thread again, too much drool in the keyboard.
