I commute most days on a 1998 Honda VFR800 and have a couple other bikes for sunny weekends.

Any other bikers on here?

(If I just committed heresy I'm already getting my coat...)

Me, At the moment I have a CB 500. I have been riding motorbikes for 34 years since I got my first moped in 1974, that was a SS50. I then had a CB 175, then a CB 250G5, notice a pattern developing, then a CB 500 4,then a CB750. I really like the new Triumph Bonneville 850, maybe , maybe.

I always liked 4 stroke engines, and most other japanese bikes in the 70's were 2 stroke. The electrics on them are good as well, so i stuck with them. My 500 was actually made in Italy.

I used to have a suzuki gs500 but sold it as I found myself constantly riding too fast.

Had a bit of a cull so I'm now down to two - 1953 BSA Bantam and a 2003 Honda Fireblade. Recently flogged my BMW F650 commuter hack.

Seriously thinking of going naked, quite fancy another Ducati Monster (I've
had a couple of M900's but only briefly - wrong bike for me at the time, so I flogged them), or maybe a BMW F800. Dunno.

Beancounter, are you a mate of young Lee Tiller AKA Superlight 3 ?

Hmmm - does it have Shimano or Campag parts on it?

Well, if you see him, tell him I've still got his Ducati Performance ventilated clutch cover sitting on my desk taking up space.

Has he still got that Ducati/Bianchi Campag road bike?

Funny - I nearly asked you that!

I assume he has. I know he tried to flog it a couple of times, about £4k iirc. Never turned a wheel afaik.

Do I know you from some other forum?

You might have bumped into me on the Monster UK site before I got escorted from their premises. *
