    There must be some motorcyclists out there. What is your pride and joy? When I moved to Wales nearly three years ago....I decided to complete my mid life crisis with the purchase of a motorcycle.
    As I hadn't ridden for more years than I care to remember.......I decided to take it easy so my current pride and joy is a Sukuki SFV650 Gladius

    alpla444 That's sweet!

    I don't have a bike any more used to em, my first was my favourite Honda hornet 600 tuned to 110bhp braided hoses custom paint so fast and with comfort. ( small petrol tank though)
    After that was Kawasaki zx7r the best looking bike I had by far, but not very reliable
    Also had a Yamaha dragstar now that had comfort!!!

    I wish I still had that Honda so fast or at least it felt that way with not having any fairing, I did have a go on a friends Ducati 998 with carbon all over the place what a stunning machine a true beauty.

    Honda Shadow Spirit 750. Should've bought the VTX, but wanted to start w/ a smaller engine since I hadn't ridden in 20 years. As it turns out I would have been ok w/ the bigger bike I think and would sure like the extra power. Still, I have a lot of fun on this thing. I have added a windscreen since this pic was taken. My daily vehicle during the warmer months. Had it out last week when we hit 65 one day. It just whet my appetite to start riding again!

    Aah, 98 ZX9R. Bought it off the show room floor in 98. Still makes me grin like a fool.

    Also a plated WR450 for dirty fun and hooliganism.
