Mines dull

SV650SK3, first bike after I passed test (ordered before) in Dec 03.
Sold it Dec-ish 04.

Interlude, bikes I've spent time on...
During that year played with a DR200 for a few days in Corfu.
Transalp for a week in Crete...that is such a good bike for rougher roads, lapped everything up and made me think trail riding was easy

.
CRM250 in Thailand, my very most favourite one and I wish I could afford one for a bit of fun.

R1200GS in blue since march 05...my god, nearly a year now! Believe the hype.
R1200GS black since this winter....ok, its the same bike but what a difference a colour change makes

What next? Fancied a KTM990 Adventure but put off by reliability and its not realistically going to take me anywhere I can get from here in 2 weeks hols the GS won't. Would be change for sake of change. If I could get the distance thing out of my system the Ducati Hypermotard..no question

Yamaha SR125 - great fun and a brilliant learner bike.

Kawasaki ER5 - did the job, alright and pretty easy to get on with, awful finish, no character.

SV#1 - great fun but restricted and killed by random cager a week before I was due to derestrict it, so got...

SV#2 - even more fun

Then again, I popped in to my local Suzi/Yamaha dealer this evening to pick up a part and laid eyes on the new R6. Not the so-so red and white one they had in there for ages though... the black one... I'm in love, now I need to start saving my pennies...

a 2003 aprilia rs125 (black with gold wheels) 10000 miles but sold in oct 04
(absolutely fantastic bike that teaches u how to corner with speed and safety)

a 2004 SV650S (candy blue) 10000 mile on it (feb 06) trading it in for a GSXR600 K6 (i will never cease to be amazed how grunty this bike is. will out grunt a pals ZX6r up to 8k then it clears off!!

he was quite impressed- think it is down to its great traction lol)

a 2006 GSXR600 due to be picked up early march (blue and white) really looking forward to getting this but will miss the instant shove of the sv. gonna put a can on it

1. Honda C90 - great for passing your test on in the bad old days!

2. CD175 - the power!!

3. Honda 500/4 - with mag wheels, clip ons & rear sets - nice machine just about a classic now

4. Triumph T120 thingy oil in frame Dresda tank, 650 gearbox, 750 racing conversion slammed on top. Bit wicked but I never new how much bike I would have left at the end of a trip

bloody airfix kit!!

5.First wife - submissive male - banned from biking

6. Talked her into getting a CG125.

7. Big mistake - bought dodgy VT500 - engine blew near Ringwood. Lived in Fareham at the time.

8. Got divorced

for a while.

9. GS550L - grey import - seemed like a bargain - got me back on the road

10. Fathers day 2003 - new missus gave me big fat....wait fot it.....cheque for about 70% of the cost of a new bike - ran out of the house with a mad grin laughing all the way to the dealer for my SV650!!
