XS1100

Last night, my kids and I were sitting in the living room and I said to them, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle. If that ever happens, just pull the plug.' They got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine.

Harley Davidson's new Softail Blackline. This must be the first time a manufacturer has promoted a bike by actually emphasising as a plus the fact that it has a narrow back tyre. Are wide bike tyres finally going out of fashion?

Not seen one of these before it has electric start and very retro brakes nice alloy rims to.

On his way to Alaska shame we never hit it off RIP Triumph Adveture 500cc unit electronic ignition but he took the points and plate with him although it never missed a beat. post 300

Rose, Yes your correct, I am sure your son will pass first time and go on to enjoy motorcyling:) Its just that the pond life I was dealing with (most of them) had no intention of passing there test and moving onward and up they wanted cheep wheels until they get there WRX.......sad init. No new up and coming ...

Wile I was Helping instucting CBT I found that only a tiny percent of the people that came where dressed for the event having said that it was mainly the girls that had proper riding gear and took notice, all the lads wanted was that bit of paper at any cost. And no matter how many times we told them the importance of wearing gloves,boots and proper motorcycle clothing You see would see them riding round town a week later in jeans a tshirt and trainers. I felt I was waisting my breath and moved on to The Advanced Lads much better. Now I ride all nice and proper like.

Do not buy a two stroke there nasty witch craft things in my opinion. The law is unfair as I think even the best of the 400 Fours would not kick out the claimed 37bhp 35 odd years on, the engines are worn and expensive to restore most restorations are cosmetic few pull the motors down.And few are listed as standerd but are in fact a long way from it.look at mine looks std ITS NOT I had XJ550 Yam with a brand new piper 4into1 bestsounding bike I owned sounded wicked! it was streets ahead of the 400F I sold the XJ550 to buy the XS1100 and then bought the same XJ550 back years later it was rubbish worn out fair doose to the girl I sold it to she wipped its ass big time!!!!!. How about some thing Brit like yer pops:)? You will spend more time in the shed learning and fiddling to keep it running but it will always get you Home I have tide bits back on my Norton with me boot lace to get home I will have think alot of Jap Classics where rubbish when new Like the CB500T,Kawasaki Z400T,Honda CB200,Suzuki SP370,Some of the Early Honda singles(OHC) would where the cylinder head out as the cam ran in the head no bearings,I seem to remember them CB900F blowing up to. But what ever, don't spend yer bucks without shouting on here first don't go and spend 1500 quid on a CB200 cus its listed as a classic.ta ta G How about a Moto Guzzi V50 or this 350 Enfield 18bhp sorted you can get loads of bits to dress um up in to. http://www.royalenfield.com/default.aspx

Yer you can the quality paintwork !

Any one can go fast! But how slow can you go doing a figure of 8 with out putting your feet down thats a lot more difficult than going 200. I always think what if you have a blow out or the chain snaps and locks the back end up.dead meat

Bet no body knows what the make is though?
