What bikes do your mates ride ? I think I've got quite a good mix here ?

Ian - Brand new Hornet (Just traded in SV (traitor !!))
Rob - VFR 750
Marky - Buell XB12 (unfaired one)
Jimbo - CBR 600F

Hang on a minute thats 3 Honda's and a tractor engined space cycle (damn cool though).

All my mates have Hondas, they taunt me by riding in the wet and then not cleaning their bikes...

Most of my mates don't ride bikes - weird, I know.

One guy has a shedfull of bikes and a 1928 Indian that he restored himself in his living room. But then he spanners and restores old bikes for a living / hobby. He's also got several old brit bikes, trail bikes, one of those Kwak bonnie-alikes and a Victory.

Ducati Monster M600
Yamaha Thunderace 1000
Yamaha TDM900
Yamaha Fazer 1000
Yamaha Fazer 600
Yamaha XJ600N
Suzuki GSX600F
Suzuki GSXR750 (Highly tuned which annoyingly cant do 100 miles on one tank of fuel! )

Yes there seems to be a Yamaha theme going on! Especially as my mate with the Monster wants to get a Thundercat!

Well, Ping owns and SV (and is the reason pretty much for me getting mine) and her fella has a Fazer (which seems to be allergic to roads... or even moving!).

Um... another mate (Nick) has a Trumpet...

... er...

... oh yeah, and my brother has a Kwak Z750 - but he's my brother, so therefore not a mate!

Not that I actually ride out with any of them mind you.
Ping and I are commitophobs and too far away from each other (plus said fella's bike's allergy), and Nick either never rides for just fun or is just plain too scared to ride out with me!

As for bruv, see earlier comment. Plus he'd never ride out with me, it's be just to embarassing for him to handle - his little sister having a bigger bike than him (as well as having been riding an extra 15 years too!). :P
