Blimey, lots of motorbike love from the Z4 community!

I’ve owned a few bikes, but the current one is a “lifer” and I have had it since new.

Currently riding a Suzuki GSF650S (Bandit S), not my dream bike but was a good compromise between price, power, and being comfortable to go round with my wife. Lowering triple clamps on forks and slightly raising the rear made it much more responsive and nicer to ride.

I had a Hyosung GT650R as my first bike back in France. Started with it limited to 48HP before having full power of about 82HP. Despite being cheap, heavy and not that powerful, the engine with an aftermarket silencer was very nice and it was giving a good feel with the clip-ons!

Mrs O and me are both Triumphaholics. Next to a pair of 1200 and 800 Hinckley Tigers we also have some Meriden iron (hence my nickname).

I rode the earlier nc30 around Caldwell park in my younger days, what a great handling bike that was 8)
