I want that BMW S1000. I was at the launch of it in Jeo Duffy Motorad.

Beautiful.

I started out with a KMX 125 then got a TSR 125 sling shot.

Had a break from them for 15 years and then bought this. BMW R1150 GS

Sold that a few months ago and bought an Africa Twin XRV 750.

Did up my own tank and plastics for it.

Scooby stew that blade is the dogs.

A mate of mine has the repsol 1000 and oh what a bike that is but them there crotch rockets are two small for my big ass. Love them though.

 

[markobucko]

how easy is it to get insurance on a 125 with no bike exp at all???

 

[ericsti]

Not sure as the regulations are changing at the minute as their bringing in manditory rider training which I for one think is a must where bikes are concerned. You might be able to still just get your licence and insure it but you will ahve to do the provitional test if you don't have it on your licence already.

2002 Blue - slightly crashed that on gravel

2003 Silver

2007 Black.

Actually now it's apparent where I spent the boom....

Yip, it is the dogs isn't it

Its a bit like your black STI

Once u go black, you don't go back....

I loved the grey silver one though....

 

[Mark Cahill]

Never graduated beyond 125's. Had a Honda Varadero and a Suzuki VanVan. Will see if I can dig out some pics of them.

Would love to get another bike but I've never been on one since I got knocked off my last one.

 

[Hammie]

Ive had a few bikes

mostly CBR's, VFR's and a FZR
Trying to rebuild the FZR at the moment and am reapplying for my license after having a lengthly period off bikes

Lookin forward to being able to get back out on them and enjoy them again
