Default Yep

Yeah, my first bike. Seriously thought about an ER5 after using it for my DAS but then I sobered up . Having to put up with a distance relationship at the moment though, not even as if I can cheat on her as none of my mates here have got bikes .

Honda XL125 Varadero, another vtwin of sorts. Passed my test on it and intended to keep it but spotted an SV, got it restricted (Akula fraser01 and other restrictor kit still fitted) and got shut of the dero.

C'mon Rictus, list all the bikes you've had. Yes I realise it might be the longest post ever but as you've still got a day or two off work it'll give you something to do!

started with a GSXR thou, but that bored me & was too slow then moved onto a Hyabusa which was better but still didn't really grab then I went into rehab for compulsive Lying disease .............

Lambretta Li150 (125reg) S2, sold it a month ago for £100 squids profit. Got me into biking, did DAS got bitten on the ass by the acceleration of a 'big bike' ER-5 , well it seemed fast - honest. Had a look around & knew an SV was the bike for me. Purchased Jan04, love the bugger to bits.

At some point I'll do a Jelster & get a GSXR 600, but I guess I'll always be heavily twin based. Sad I know but at some point ............ No I'm not gonna admit it. GOLDWING, oops it's like tourettes, it just comes out. It just fascinates me, what's it like to ride one of those things, it's baffling. I'm sorry I've let you all down, I'll go and say twenty Hale Mary's
