Default My biking history

Thought i would let you all see the bikes ive had over the years. Dread to think how much money ive spent on em!

they are more or less in the order in which I bought em.











































Think thats the lot! If you want to know anything about any of the bikes, feel free to ask.

My two favourites?

Benelli Tornado for turning heads and the sound.

Yamaha Bulldog for the best riding bike ever.

A nice collection there.... I really like the look of the ER6, one passed me today on the Queensferry bypass and I was surprised how good it looked.

what's the deal with benelli? They look amazing and crazy in equal measures but there aren't that many around...

Having said that there was one at squires which sounded a little bit like an atom being ripped in half

The ultimate posers bike.

You had to fight your way through a crowd every time you walked back to it.

Plus points:

THE NOISE!
Handling.
Nippy.
Just look at it!

Minus points;

Very uncomfy riding position. Nuts/tank interface on every ride.
Water pump broke twice.
very expensive servicing.

Thats it really. Nice bike but unreliable and uncomfy for more than an hour.

Overall
