Some great bikes posted on here! My last bike was a 1995 Triumph Speed Triple, great sounding bike, sadly no more thanks to a white van on 1st May 2007 (not that the date is etched into my memory or anything...!).

Not had a bike since as my 1994 Merc E280 became a bit of a project, 18 years old, 181,000 miles and still drives like a new car.

And the V6 in this sounds great, tends to be the daily driver at this time of the year, and has a huge boot, loads of room for tanks! :D

These are mine. The RD350YPVS is an F2 that I've converted to a naked version - I've rebuilt the engine and it pulls like a steamtrain - amazing for only 350 cc's. It's my runaround. The others are Honda NS400R and Suzuki RG500 - they are being stored at the moment but I am going to put them back on the road in the next few weeks.

I have a Renault 5 GT Turbo built for track use only, i'll see if i can get some pics of it this weekend. Did everything myself, running at about 200HP at 0.6 bar of boost, weighing in at 730 kilo's without me in it. Got my bike license when i was in the army, but never bought a bike. Loads of people say it, but i KNOW it, i will kill myself within the hour of buying the bike :haha:

As a daily i use a Opel Vectra B, of wich we swapped the engine from a 1.6 16V to a 1.8 16V due to high mileage of the 1.6. I love tinkering about with cars ;D

Runs like a dream except from the occasional electronic fault, which turned out to be a loose wire :haha:
