Hi Keefe, yes my other passion is bikes had em since I was 13 and was a long time ago.
Love twins and triples and currently own a Buell 1125R, 1973 Honda CL450 and an 88 Yam XT350 for playing in the winter mud. Now I've got the Jimny for that!

It was the 'Buel' part of your user name that gave it away. ;)

Love the Buels.

Just given a mounted scale model of one to a bloke in Cyprus that lends me his cars when we're there.

Ha we've a lot in common, go to Cyprus a lot but to the north now Kyrenia, love it. Had a few Buells including the old tube framers with the Harley 1203 engines but got to say the Rotax engine in the last models is a real beauty.
Any other bikers amongst us? Could start a new thread. ;)

I thought everybody had at least one bike in the garage ;)

I used to have a Buell


Now I ride one of these



These are the only 2 things in the world that rot faster than a Suzuki :evil:

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Yup,
I've been riding Honda Transalp and Africa Twin for the last 10 years. Now I have a Yamaha XT660R, which is not really me. Miss my old Honda :-)

I only ride V twins nowadays, I did have a brief flirtation with a V4 (NC30), and a Rotax single engined Aprillia Pegasso.

I've had :

2 harleys, the Buell, a VT250, 3 CX500s, A Deauville, A 400 Bros, an SV650, and now the Guzzi.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)
