Post your bikes and what got you into the genre of 2-wheels! :D

(Just hit 50 degrees here in the States and so this was my first dayriding. The auto white balance was thrown way off so please excuse the crummy pics :p )

I haven't got any of my bike, plus I'd have to clean it first!

This is my mate Andy's CBR

Don't ride anymore but this was my beauty back in the UK.
A 1977 Z650c. I didn't do the paint job, it came like that.

Got into bikes through my Uncle's n' cousin's who were, and still are, bike mad. I think I was 8 when I had my first ride of a bike, a yellow Honda ss50, Burnt me bloody thigh getting off the thing. My cousin used to do some local races and did the TT a few times. So, bikes are well and truly in the blood. It's too dangerous to be riding a bike in Canada, the car drivers are mad.

Got into bikes at a very early age and it is well and truely in the blood, had all sorts from off roaders to superbikes but think i will stick with the blade for a while, going to the old dears in south of france at the end of next month on it so will try for some more scenic shots then..

^^^ My SV :)

Got into biking as a solution to LondON traffic: initially by getting a 125 scoot. Rapidly got fed up of that so did the DAS and bought the SV. Totally hooked on bikes now. If you haven't yet I strongly suggest you do (however, when you fall off I'll deny all responsibility!!) ;)

Some of mine....Edit. for Glo. ;)

Old image of my Laverda Formula 750 .
It’s Italian, very temperamental, it breaks down a lot, and it’s impossible in slow traffic, but apart from that it's one of the most exciting and most fabulous handling bikes I've ever ridden.

Nice eh.

A very small 1986 Honda CBR400RR.

THIS THREAD IS JUST NOT FAIR!
:bang: :bang: :bang:

I sorely miss my CB 900F Bol d'or...

OK so it doesn't compare with these nice modern babies but boy did I have good times with that bike.

Pity is she pre dated the digital era:bang: :bang: :bang:

Oh well enjoy them you fortunate peeps!!

^^^I know how you feel! I'd love to have the $$$ to be able to buy a new bike but my baby is my first street bike and it's given no reason for me to complain.

By the way, my tongue is still hanging over that Aprilla. :thumbs:
