I have two Ducatis; the Monster 750 is taxed up, new cambelts and an oil change and raring to go, but the 750SS is still in bits. It will be staying that way until I can get the correct colour codes for the frame and bodywork.

I remember the last time I rode a 2 stroke - a Suzuki RGV250. Clean forgot about the powerband and was hanging on for dear life down a narrow side street in Bristol. How I didn't break my neck I have no idea.

These days I rather like my motors to be in a V formation.

Really nice to see some biker members in the 75&ZT owners club.

I returned to motorcycling and bought a Triumph Speed Four recently. I didn't mention it as I thought I'd be ridiculed !!

Had a few bikes before I found human love and sold my last one to pay for the wedding costs

My Triumph (a 600cc liquid cooled 4 cylinder 4 stroke, 100PS sports) was built in Hinckley in 2006, and is just ready for it's first MoT test. Shows excellent build quality like my Rover and goes like it's rocket propelled.

It sports a nice tank protector in a union jack design to match it's heritage and my R75 wheels :lol:

Possibly not quite as fast (or safe) as my 1.8T at the top end, but blisteringly quick accelleration on nice open country roads. 0-60 in 3.5 secs if your strong enough to hang on
