My Other car is...a Bike!

Not in the UK then?

Yes in the UK but a very remote part of Scotland where taxable roads, the national grid and many other common utilities to this day, don't venture...

I had a mate that had a MT5 and it was very slow... 25mph max even after a de-coke on a bonfire in his back garden it only managed 35mph down hill and was no match for my AP 50

My BMW K1200S and my 1947 Indian Chief.

My MT5 was special, it had a 100 engine :broon:

That Indian Chief is fabulous.

Thanks mate.
Yep, life's too short to ride a Harley!

A friend of mine has restored a couple of Indians

Had a few new Hinckley Triumphs over the years but currently running a CCB SR-40 one of 80ish produced.

A 2007 Moto Guzzi 1200 Sport.

I have had this T160 for the last 10 years. A very handsome and good bike

And AS Daily driver i Got thid BMW k100 RS special edition. Aldi s pleasure to own and drive

Rode bikes for a good few years until my two boys came along ...

Started on a GPZ500, then went on to a VFR750. Had a few months away after getting knocked off by a sleeping driver in a car who sent me down the road and then with the payout got myself a ZZR600. Last one was a Triumph sprint.

Rode a few at work too - Large faired BMWs - ZZR1100, Thunderace 1000, CBR1000 and a Yamaha diversion 900.

A few mates have bikes now and do a bit of touring. As I retire at the end of next year it's tempting and I have a hankering for another one but if I did it'd have to replace the TF ....
