Any bikers out there?

I am indeed, we've got the bi annual Off Centre Rally happening there in August, people from all over will be there, usually the more adventurous the route the better

Wouldn't call myself a biker either but that was the next best thing to "motorcyclist"

So you have a Duc, very nice although physcally a bit small for me, i'm getting tired of the old racer crouch thing. I used to have a Mike Hailwood replica back in the eighties, very nice but a pain in the a*se at traffic lights, people said it would've been easier for me to just lean on the car next to me than have to unfold myself off those bloody pegs, sounded glorious though! Aren't the roads straight like ours up your way? :wink:

Dont do it, speaking from experience, its really hard to get one back when you get rid of the last one, and you know that bike thing is still gonna be there.Every time you pass one on the road, that could be me.

i know what your saying but i think if i got rid of the wife its going to cost me a lot more

so time for another bike in a few years once all the children have left home

You Mongrels!

My son (Bucko on TW forum) is buying a new bike to replace his written off Yamaha XJR1300 (he was hit by a car). He's trading in his 2004 Yamaha R1.

He offered my his Yamaha TDM850 in exchange for paying the insurance on the XJR. For Little Britain fans, "Computer says No!" (OK, read that as wife says no.)

This was my last ride - sold to buy County:

I miss riding.

Well thats bloody nice.....calling us Mongrels

Actually i am a bit of a mongrel (pun intended) so check out this pic of my babies, beautiful aren't they

Pity you had to give up the bike, once you let 'em go it's hard to get started again.

Well done Lew, you're gonna love that 950!

Holy ****, thats one awesome garage, I hate you.

I told you he was a mongrel. A GS is one of the bikes on my shortlist.

There you go with the name calling again

Actually i can recommend the GS too, damn fine motorcycle, and COMFY! They're a pretty good all rounder, i'm impressed with how far off the beaten track you can get. But they are heavy so if you want to do serious dirt work get the KTM 950 8).
