Anybody just love their bike?

[discotex]

Love my bike. After three months I still get the grin every time I ride.

[Subike]

Went to the BEARS racing today on my ole Xsessive.
Cruzed the roads to Ruapuna without a hick, bubble, squeek or rattle,
30 years old in November she is.
My affair with her began 5 years ago, and she has already seen the demise of a wife! The wife was Jealous of the bike

Today , between all the horse power, roaring V twins, potatoing harleys, shinny trumpets , there was Mr Harris Pipes himself with his mobile Dyno tune.

Well another reason I love my bike was there in black and white, no bullshit!
86 bhp at the rear wheel!!!!! Yeah!!!
and it needs a tune up lol

Better than a couple of Mottoguzzies, (74hp arw) triumph america (71hp arw)
Yamaha V Max (82 bhp arw)

So I love my ole girl, cause she still has it after 30 years.
lol
And somebody on here said that she was only the equal of a modern 600

Barr humbug
Me and my Xsessive will be still around for a while yet

Dont you just love the exessiveness of it all?

Yes I do love the excessiveness. Well said mate, your a good friend to that old girl, long may she reign

Never fancied swoppin her for a martini 11? Now that was a battle ship.

[Sellout]

I admit to loving my Zonga, loose bolts 'n' all.

She is nothing special, not fast, not flash, not pricey, not a classic... But still get a better buzz on my bike than on a mates prettier faster machine.

Took a Triumph Classic out for a nice wee ride (of course, this was on a closed road.....) and that was awesome but the buzz of "She's mine" works for me.

I love the fact that if/ when I bin her, replacement parts are cheap as chips, modifications can be made in the garage at home, repair can be done at home too, and I only need to carry a monkey wrench, gaffer tape and a knife and I can perform roadside surgery on her!!!! Talk about freedom and independance!

PS. I haven't had to break out the operating tools yet on the roadside, but nice to know I'm prepared when out of phone reception!

[Blue Velvet]

I do

[steveb64]

The day I bought the Duc, and took it for it's first ride - it became mine for life. I may own other things, but I'll always keep the 'clattery. Even if the old girls lookin a bit patchy at the moment...

[vifferman]

Nup.

I don't think I do love my bike.
There are times when I walk past it parked at work, or it's sitting in the gargre, and I think, "Man! That's a nice looking bike!"
Or I'm riding, everything clicks, and I'm really enjoying it.
Or I fit another farkle, or fix summat, and I feel very satisfied.
Or the sound of the Satantune makes me go, "Oh yeah!!"

But it doesn't quite feel like love.

[007XX]

I do ...she looks sexy, sounds sexy, and handles so very nicely.

Which in itself is worrisome as I will have to let her go at some stage (need more power, I do )

But I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

[007XX]

Ehem...ER6N

yes I know, I know...my little heart is pounding fiercely (and well, something else too if I'm honnest ) when I set my eyes upon a Street Triple

And I sat on one, and started the engine, and I...I...oh drats! I liked it ok?!

The thing is, it will very much depend on test rides' results anyway...Jafar's been bugging me about a FZ6 for a while too.

[avgas]

If i love her enough she gets named.
We dont mention the unamed

"What I collect, I keep" I luvvies the bikes I get I does, I like to hug them and kiss them and pat them and read them stories and buy them bling and ride them lots and clean them and ride them some more so I can clean them again and fix them and put LED bling lights on them and ride them some more and ...

[carver]

It's good that you've found a bike that fits you so well. Some people can spend months or even years trying to do that. I had a gs1000 in the early eighties that I felt that way about, but really never had it since.
The bike I've got now is alright, but doesn't have that special factor.
I could easily sell it tomorrow and look for something else.

really.
my ER6n is great, my favorite bike so far

[carver]

Ehem...ER6N

go the ER6n

I am more in love with my bike than I have ever been before with any other bike. I am a Gixxer nut, I have owned 7 bikes one was an RGV250 & my race bike is a CBR600(with gixxer fairings) and the rest have been Gixxers. My current bike is a 750 k6 and she is now part of me (my demon side) she understands me and I respect her, she knows how to push my buttons and makes me do things I didn't think I could do! GOD I LOVE HER!!!!
