Anybody else ride motorcycles? Post them here.

Anybody ride?

This is my old one, XVS1100.

This is my current one, KTM 790 Duke.

The old drag queen looks well modified. Lol. My missus sold her 1,000 about 2 years ago as she just can’t ride anymore. Still trying to decide if we fix up her old TR1, that is the granddaddy to yours, or whether to sell it as a project.

currently I’m just finishing a week in Wales on my Varadero.
anyone in Presteigne tonight fancy a pint?
Home tomorrow for abuse and complaints about the house being clean and tidy when I wasn’t there.

The Yam was a nice ride, like riding in an armchair. Loud as anything as the pipes were basically scaffold tubes.

The KTM is like a 100bhp bmx, so much fun and nimble.

Is the TR1 like a Virago?

I have ridden bikes for almost 50 years and just theother week had to get rid of the Suzuki in my profile pic as I physically could no longer ride it for any length of time.
The other I have are very comfortable and can be ridden all day. Except the wee Piaggio whose 50ccs will struggle with me on it!
The blue Yamaha 950 Midnight Star is one of the comfiest bikes I have ever ridden and the Aprilia Pegaso is a recent acquisition which is a more upright position but again, very comfy.

Not surprised by issues with riding sports bikes for longer periods, that why I went with the Duke.

1968 Triumph and 1986 Honda cb350 . Plenty large enough for me

If I set up a gofundme page, please feel free to donate so I can buy a Panigale V4, haha.

My uncle loves classics, he has 4 or 5 Nortons in his garage and a BMW 1000r, maybe I should ask him to take a Norton out, Ive never ridden an old bike.

I fancied a super but unless I wanted an old one they were out of my budget. They sound great.

Id also like a Husq Nuda 900, what a noise.

 

[Morkai]

Had new new tyres on the whip today.

 

[enfieldspares]

No. Not for nearly thirty years now. But I did once upon a time. One of these.
