That's quite a resurrection!

I've seen bikes mentioned in posts a few times recently & went searching for any bike threads.

Can't believe I've not posted here, here's my Ducati multistrada 100ds on the day I picked it up, looks a little different now, pillion sissy bars gone, replaced with a decent top box for touring potential. 

I've also got a yam xt600e, in bits at the mo for some tlc & I decide if I'm gonna chop it about ? 🤔

This is my beast. A 2014 Harley Davidson FLHTK. Owned for 2 years. This is my third Harley Davidson but I have had a chequered history with bikes.

Passed my test in 2011 bikes owned in order of purchase 

2006 Suzuki SV650S

2006 Harley Davidson Sportster 

2002 Honda Pan European (Ex Police) I wrote it off 

2002 Honda Pan European (Ex Royal Escort) I was hit by a Drunk Driver on the wrong side of the road. Written off but I didn't drop it.

2003 Harley Davidson Dyna Super Glide

There you have it. 

 

Ride safe ladies and gents.

Ruffians and rapscallions, the lot of you.  Be more dapper.

Saw this on fb, seems apt to share it with my fellow old bikers

Ahh, another passion of mine, motorcycles!

 

One photo is me with the throttle on the stop of my 1924 Sunbeam and the other is my last road bike which was a little 125 which was so much fun!

My main ride (W650) complete with son.  Note ex-girlfriends lace sided leather loon pants.  I used to wear them until I stopped training martial arts for a couple of years and got bloody fat!

 

Bike has been dynojetted, airbox cut and pipes debaffled then dyno'd for perfect mixture.  Turned an 85mph constipated slug into a ton plus snorting beasty.  

 

 

 

Crap pic of my Guzzi.  Same Tonti frame as the LeMans.  Frame of a sportsbike, engine that's agricultural folk art.  Wanted one ever since I rode a friends new one back in the mid 90s.  Mrs TPH likes this one.  With a little bit of help from a bloody great iron bar it sounds like a Lancaster bomber.   

 

 

It makes hum the CHiPs theme tune as you ride it.

 

Old pic of my XS 'Zig-Zag Wanderer' after the Beefheart song.  I'd bought some 7/8" ss tube to make handlebars with, but booze said, 'Nah, you need a sissy bar.'  Still have it.  It now has open shotgun pipes and is Daytona yellow. 

 

 

 

My bike for hot dry days.  0-100 in 7.2...  My Dad bought this for himself for his 70th.  He has something more sedate now - Honda 750 Hornet.

 

 

I've a few more in bits and the lad already has four including a GSX250R.  I think they breed in the garage tbh.  

 

Looking to buy an Enfield to chop.  I want another hardtail.  Looking at an 883 on Saturday.  It's A2 license friendly and #1 son can slow down a bit and have something comfy for his girlfriend to sit on.  

 

I'll not put the patched up pics online, but bikes have been a massive part of my life for years.  Despatch rider for a while, lived in a shared house with clubmates.  Still get together once a month to scare polite society.
