Absolutely stunning, Im hoping to visit the bike shed this year when Im in London for the Dylan concert, my daughters boyfriends dad is a bike builder and has won a few trophys for his early Harley bobbers he's built.
Having seen the videos he used to capture, I believe him. How he never ended up wrapped around a tree goodness only knows."Tales of derring-do" contribute greatly to the pleasure of biking. The art is to exaggerate whilst remaining believable

Slightly off-topic, if thats ok - my lads recently went on a Trail Park day where they use electric KTM 'Freeride' trailies.
They're both used to big bikes so didnt expect too much from the leckies - how wrong they were!
They had a brilliant day and said the bikes felt like 'hot' 125's but with loads of bottom end grunt.
The bikes can run 260 or 300 volts giving 9kw or 18kw respectively. I think theirs were set to 9kw, but unlike
an engine where the power curve ramps up to its peak, electrics give maximum torque from standstill, so 'feel' hotter.
They spin up, wheelie and jump like good 'uns. Highly recommended!

Thanks for the kind words
I’ll be there all weekend, so please come and say hi. I’ll probably have a Guzzi tee shirt on and will be the guy looking as chuffed as Feck
Here is my new bike to replace my ZX10R Winter Test Edition!
Its a Suzuki GSX-R1000R BSB Rep and I have had it since December, but havent been out yet! Its now had a full Gyeon Quartz coating treatment and should hopefully be protected against all the crap weather we have!!

One word. Yummy.
Not sure if this counts, but fun...
The bent bike in the back is a ZX6R P8F, that was my track bike which I crashed in Spain! I am going to buy another and build a new track bike but just havent had the time yet!
Here is a pic just after the crash!
Delighted when I stumbled across this in a garage workshop. Exactly the same as my first chariot I had at 16 years. Honda Express in daffodil yellow. Sadly written off, when an apparently famous snooker personality, didn't see me coming out of the low winter sun and pulled out a junction in front of me. Collision resulted in the bike being shortened by 18 inches and I got a lesson in the principles of flight, over the rear hatch of a Sierra. Local plod kindly gave me and the bike a lift home in the back of their Transit.

I’ve sold some of my bikes lately as I can’t ride them, my shoulder op is next week, so with the proceeds of the sale I bought this for when my shoulder is better.
