I had a couple of 1200 Explorers/Tigers and did trips all over Europe on them. So good but a bit annoying that the cruise control wouldn't go above 100 MPH (160 KPH) on the autobahn. :evil:

Heading towards owning my GSXR 750 K5 20th anniversary for 12 years in 2022. Been an absolute pleasure in that time and I’m still very much in love with it. I actually bought a replacement at one time that I had for a couple of years but ended up selling and keeping the love of my life.

I had an AR50 from my sixteenth birthday in the same red; VMY 358Y. Then an AR125LC on my 17th. Been a Kwaka man ever since. :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.

Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!

Mrs on the cr125 we bought to do flat track on but never got round to it which is a shame as I loved my one and only ride out at pete boast flat track school in Lincs ....the other pictures are a few more of my Rvf when I first owned it, I know the grass was in a bad way but it’s ok now

The connoisseurs will notice the front Rvf logo is yellow when it should be white which it now is ...

Some fab photos of bikes posted above. Been riding since 1982 and just can’t kick the motorbike bug. Photos of my last three bikes plus my current Hypermotard.
