Nice to see some old brit bikes on here
After many years of riding all sorts of bikes from fast jap sports bikes to harley cruisers and big triallies, my garage contains a 2005 Honda CBF500, 1960 BSA Super Rocket (650cc) and a soon to be finished restoring 1956 BSA B31 (350cc).

I had one of these and used it on the courier curcuit. Great underated bike, totally reliable, but could never get rid of that ticking noise.

I have done less than a thousand miles on my CB500 since aquiring it five years ago. My bicycles are my first choice for a ride out when it's a sunny day.

Not had a VFR400 but had a couple of RVF400s. Had to sell them as they were making me misbehave. Crashed them on a regular basis too, once at Mallory and another time on the way to a Cadwell park trackday. Doh!

I grew up near Cadwell - I once almost didn't make it to a BSB meeting after thrashing the GSX250 and making it drop a valve! Not very nice to pick the pieces up after that.
I find that I try to go out on the VFR and take it steady which is fine until you overtake someone and kick the revs up; from that point on bimbling round sub 10,000rpm isn't good enough - 10-14,000 is where the fun is!
By the way, I'd love an RVF

I've got two old Vespas, which I love to bits. One's from 1973, the other from 1981. I used to have a BMW R65 Monolever, but it scared the bejayzus out of me.

Had a Mamola Boxercup for a few years, sold it last summer. Only thing I've got now is a GasGas trials bike.
Looking to repace my road bike soon. Mate has a Fazer 600 for sale but I was looking more towards something like a Thunderace.

MarkF said:I have a Yamaha XJR1200, a Honda 650 Dominator, a Yamaha Majesty 250 scooter but I usually prefer to ride this, a Vespa 1962 Gran Lusso.
Nice scooter, my wife has just passed her bike tests and we intend to buy one reasonably soon - probably an old Vespa.

I like! Very nice!!gavintc said:
Hello all, I have been directed here from another thread 
I ride a Fazer FZ6, silver and black and beautiful underseat exhaust.
However I don't ride as much as I would like as I fell off on a peice of adverse camber (put down left foot - no road) and it's made me feel it's a little tall for me. Have softened the suspension and so will give it a go when we get the next bit of sun (bit of an FWB
)
