Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me....
I'll just stick with my Yamaha 1979 XS1100E.
Not that it is standard anymore, but we respect each other.
The bonus for me is that i can pull her apert and fix anything she decides to anoy me with.
Yeap I would like a "modern" bike, but the codt of keeping them on th road means I would still ride the xsessive more .
If I had a choice of another older bike, it would ave to be a 1984 4 speed chain drive 1100 Harley Davidson Evo sportster. Painted burgandy /slate.
Or a 85 liberty 1100 sporty, just dont seem to be able to fine one.
To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.
I made the mistake of buying my dream bike earlier in the year. I call it a mistake because having acquired the machine I have always wanted, I'm finding that I don't want to ride it as I can't stand the idea of damaging it! Damn thing belongs in a museum.
So I'm currently negotiating to buy an mid-seventies BMW R75/6 airhead. Something I can take apart, ride in the rain, and just generally enjoy.
That's why I got the 1987 R65 - it's also black and looks the part.I am able to use the lego set BMW provided with 25 years of airheads and some K stuff to make it into several of the bikes I desire.I am able to pull anything apart with ease...and actually be able to see the parts I want to work on without removing half the bike first.Nearly everything I need can be got from BMW,they still support the airhead range....and everything else can be found in Max Headroom's shed.Car starter,car alternator,car ign module....basic,basic,basic.A 21 year old motorcycle that can tour the South Island tomorrow,and will need the oil checked twice on the trip.A practical classic.
In and out of jobs, running free
Waging war with society
I don't have any old bikes - they are only just run in ;-) Why one of em even has an electric starting button... 'mazin'
Been going Commando since 1984...
1973 850 Interstate
Cool! Nortons dont leak oil eh, they mark their spot
Im thinking of getting another old Z1 1000...fetching a fair bit these days
Who do you ask to set up a Forum???
Seems if there is one for pocket bikes, skootahs, motards there should be one for Classic Bikes...or maybe they are worried about oil dripping everywhere.
Us old bike owners need a place to call out own!!!!
When I lived up in Auckland I felt like I had a classic coz it was 10 years old. Everyone else up that way seems to have bikes no older than 3 years.
I would love to get an old Brit at some point....like a Beeza Gold star mmmmm
In space, no one can smell your fart.
Had my old girl for 18 years! Off the road at the moment for a bit of a tart up. But she's a good one!
There's a Z1R on T/me at the moment! Needs a bit of work but its all there by the looks of it!
On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!
'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '
I have a paris dakar 1989> I am hoping to do a trip also but haven't set date yet travelling India to London. What have you done in the way of prep.
