Your best motorcycle

[Mike]

The fastest speed I ever done was 131mph on the Kenilworth bypass in the early hours of a sunday morning on a 650cc Ariel Huntmaster with an over size cog fitted on the rear wheel. It had no acceleration but a high top speed.

That would lower the gearing Mr Parry!

Here's one of my favorites... Still got it actually, too.

*the mystery of why some women like bikes seems to become clearer.... but the mystery of why men do, becomes more obscure ....*

Hmmm... deep. Pass the wacky baccy.

i restored quite a few bikes.. the last british one was an ariel huntmaster

but it was nothing like modern bikes..
the most exciting bike was a little kawasaki kr1, it was truely amazing in lots of ways..
i have a couple of bikes still.

a 77 laverda 1200s triple.. it has most of the original jota parts on it, its a nice bike

the bike i ride.. is a yellow buell firesomething and to be fair is my best bike so far.. well, for what i want from a bike..
i suppose looking back i should have kept the yam trx850 i sold many years ago.. with a better gear box it would have been quite something.. i was looking for more speed when i sold it.. i rarely go over 75 nowadays

If we're mentioning those type of bikes, started off at 16 with a Vespa 50 Special (with a 100cc engine, ahem...) - much "customised" (ok, bastardised!) before moving to a real bike(!) - my dad's Yamaha RXS 100 - in metallic maroon - I was always jealous of my mate Ian who had the same bike in the much rarer metallic turquoise - with dropped bars and Micron exhaust (of course!) .... Happy days!

It's a typo. He meant "cock"

Bikes? A rather naughty race-tuned Yamaha LC-350 brings back an assortment of giggles (not to mention soiled pants)... 2-strokes rule!!
