1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6
Running but need fettling:
1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F
Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!
1982 Suzuki GSX1100SZ Katana
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)

Aye that's the place, I know the name now you said it. I must have passed his cafe as I went that way too.

Re: Two wheels good.
Eric's a fucking legend. He did the first British solo ascent of the Eiger in 1981 and was the first person in the world to base jump off it in 1986. He's still climbing, skiing & base jumping at the age of 84.
Here's his Wiki page:

Re: Two wheels good.
Oops, I must have failed to tighten a bolt up when I did the pads the other day as I found this when I wheeled the bike out to change the oil today...
I've now got a shiney replacement in place & just need to wait a few years for it to weather to suit.

Re: Two wheels good.
Is it wrong to be impressed that anyone manages to text while riding a bike? I know I'd fall off or drop the phone as soon as I tried!

Re: Two wheels good.
I see (mainly) scooter riders doing it all the time in London. Drives me crazy them weaving all over the road while I’m trying to work.

Re: Two wheels good.
That reminds me, I'm buying this CBR1000F for the third time this month off Minimad5. It has passed between us so often that we sometimes forget who owns it!
