Just turned 68 and bought myself a bike (not ridden for over 20 years) as I couldn't resist it, as it was an absolute bargain. My first ride today and all went well. Ordered a Hornet as well for a few luxuries.

A lovely looking bike. Thought it was the Triumph Thruxton at first glance.

Had this bad boy since 2014, not ideal for my neck of the woods but…. that v-twin sound…..

I had this bad boy for some time and an FXR before...the Buell was out there...that front disc brake was insane and would lift the back end...what fun driving on the front wheel...not!

My Harley Fat Bob. Following ten years of ownership, I swapped it out for the BMW R18.

Hi Airleader
The same year as you, I purchased the Suzuki TS125. A couple of years later I switched to the Honda MTX 125. Both were great, fun bikes. In later years I opted for the Honda Africa Twin.

I like that very much, and being used properly too!

Cool - same plan!
Xtrainer 300? Do you have a transportion solution?

Really? Still in action?

KTM EXC 300 Tpi (Enduro) fantastic bike
Transport on a rail not ideal, a lot of preparation
2x 900 km with that system though

I have a 350EXC and I normally transport it on a Motolug trailer, but I’m attracted to the idea of mounting it on a rail on the tow hitch. What has been your experience with yours?

 

[Leonidas]

To be fair only used once for a long trip to the Alps
Pain to load: need a ramp or load from a place 60cm higher
Still: tricky!
Then fixing to the car with straps (30 min minimum)
Word of caution :all cars have a maximum authorize weight for such a device(100 kg for my old disco 300tdi)
Bike is 103kg, so ok
Grenny would be OKmight try again, this time with a bit of experience!

I have a few 80’s 90’s bikes. Nice and cheap to insure
