I've had nothing since 2001, no need, no use, it would be a very seldom used toy. All my kit was given away about 10 years ago. This does not mean that I do not get a hankering.

Love those cafe racers, I’m pretty sure the first one is usually ridden by Ogri.

Great looking bike with the super cool “widow maker” reputation as well
burns fuel and chucks out smoke (and needs a re build every other week end) just the job for Sadiq Khans super low emission zone in London as now it would be classified as an Historic Vehicle so exempt

I had a GPX600, great engine and very fast steering with the 16” front wheel.

I dont own a motorbike, I never passed my test but I do love the bit where he cuts his toenails with an angle grinder….

Reuse, recycle, thus do your bit to save the planet.... Get stuff at auctions, Dump, Charity Shops, Facebook Marketplace, Ebay, Car Boots. Choose an Old House, and a Banger ..... And cycle as often as you can......

Ogri had a Norvin - similar to a Triton but with a fair bit more power.

Is that the Himalayan ?
Sort of fancied one but got used to the power of the Triumph.
But I would like one of these except for the price :-
You'll never know if you don't try it.

Nice Triumph .... to big, to thirsty and too expensive for me i'm afraid..
My guide to the right bike for me has always been ... Can i pick it up when i drop it it .....
Ok the ZZR-1100 didn't meet that criteria ... but it's tenure was brief, 140 mile a day commute was a blast, but the tyres and chain replacement every month was beyond my budget ...
Replaced it with a Kawasaki 500 twin Custom .... common sense took over but ended up back with the MZ ETZ 300 in a matter of months.
Which was right back in my comfort zone ....

They are ! I have a Dyna Wide Glide (1450), done a fair few miles on it too.
Also have a classic Suzuki and a Triumph.
Someone here has had a Kawasaki HI, I had a purple H2C (750) with Denco expansion chambers !!! Dinosaur of a motorcycle - loved it though.

Agree again Whippet. Recently went to event at Shaw's Harley and I have to say I did get smitten with some of them I saw. Could never afford new but given the number of events the HD owners club organise throughout the year it's a ticket to a lot of fun if I did ever buy one.
My mates got one on order for next March £19k
What !. It's his pension present to himself.

I once rode my Laverda Jota from the Isle of Skye to my home in Kent in a day.

I rode a Puch Maxi moped from Warrington to London and back in a day (actually 26 hours).
My bottom has never forgiven me.
