Fraid I can't supply anything for this thread as, apart from a push-bike, I've never had a bike. In fact I've always been afraid of them as, no matter how careful you might be, there are too many car and van drivers out there that aren't.

Following the first car thread, got me thinking about bikes. Have had several, still love them and still have a Triumph 1200 Trophy in the garden, in need of repair, which will be done soon
 
Never owned a motorbike, but would love to have a Honda CD250u.... :)

Love the sound of that twin cylinder engine (but then, I love all kinds of twin cylinder engines!!):

 
i had a honda placcy 90 when i was 20 yrs old
 
The only bike that I ever rode was an old 250cc Royal Enfield Clipper in the 1960's.I cannot remember if it was mine or my brothers.

Edit found a pic of it .I am on the moped.:)

Me mum stopped the engine rebuilds when I did my brothers Francis Barnet, took 3 days!
 
Forgot to mention the Puch Maxi my mother gave me when she hit 60. She didn´t feel safe riding it any more.
