Can't you guys keep your bikes running?

 

Daily rides:

 

1961 R69s, 34 yrs (sold to a German engineer, many mods, fast)

1984 R80RT (naked), 7 yrs (sold to a bike mechanic, many mods esp. front suspension)

1999 R1100S, 8 yrs (coupla' mods)

 

 

OK, had to give some quality time to a Jaguar MkII, Alfa-Romeo GT-Veloce, Lotus Elan+2*, and Maserati 425... you know, I needed some practical transportation here in Canada's winter.

 

Ben

*I sold the Lotus in early '80s. But due to some later mix-up in ownership papers, I was asked to eyeball it last week at a fancy body shop where it had been abandoned needing some additional work about 25 years ago. Interesting story. By FAR, greatest car I've ever owned. This is YOUR chance to own one....... send PM for body shop phone number.

That seems like a pretty good combination there Bill....I miss my 04 RT greatly, never had the Vstrom 1000 but my 650 strom was fun...it could just never be my one and only bike.

[rd400racer]

One constant that I am noticing is that lots of us own/owned RD400's.

 

Can't argue with a great bike!

[eddd]

No list for me. I have to look in the garage to be sure what bikes I currently own, and even at that I'll likely forget before I get back to the computer.

[Car 54]

Hi Bill,

 

I rather like the list. The RT is my daily driver and by far the most comfortable of any bike I have had including the Wing. By the way, that should have read 89 and not 79. The Tridents always did and still do give me the biggest thrill to ride. There just isn't anything that sounds like them. I am not familiar with the Sesame Street tune. Thanks for the look though.

 

Regards,

John
