Anybody just love their bike?

[Unit:Me]

OK, so Ive only had the ZX14 five months, but hell do I love this bike Out of all the bikes we have had in the past 2 1/5 years, (and the Ks we have done, me 65,000) nothing puts a smile on my face more than my 14 has, ever. I just love my bike. Thats it. Everything about it is fantastic. Sure its not the perfect bike in the world, what is? But everytime I ride it, and ride something else, I cant imagine what I would replace it with. So its not like Im not comparing it to other bikes, I most definately am and in real riding terms too, but this is the one. Does anyone else love their bike to ride as much as I do? (I still admire more astetically pleasing bikes than mine, hell I had an Aprillia for looks, not the 14).

yeah just dusted off all the crap of my old girl today & went for a spin to the shops. What a nice feeling - and the sound. Told my wife my bike will be 20yrs old next year & she with a smart smile said we should give it a birthday party. Well that sowed a seed...

But...but..but it has no chrome bits to polish.

What mine or his? Padmei good to here you are still into your bike, so have you owned it 20 years?

I share my affection with a few old whores. Each has a trait I like but all are dirty wee slappers when it comes down to it. Each one has a few scares and all could tell a few tales if they could.

Yep I love my little beastie. I talk about the bike like it's a person sometimes, much to the other half's disgust!!!

Me and my other half swap with each others other halves, so argument solved

Yeah I love my little ratty! Loved it from the first test ride 9 years ago. She's worth next to nothing in $$$ terms but you cant put a price on love now can ya? Still get my jollies every time I ride her.

That's awesome Unit, very nice to hear someone loving their bike to bits!!!
Went out for a spin on my Hornet today, and I'm with you on the bike loving. I had just started to get a little bored with it and was starting to want to ride the hubby's Gixer around, but after I had the front sprocket changed it's made it ride like a real 900cc bike, so much fun, and I'm loving it again and no longer want to ride the Gixer (oh ok, maybe on the track!).
Top stuff chick!

Yep! I loved the old GSX-F600 despite its shortcomings, but the Boulevard is teh best bike I have ever owned. of course it's the newest and the first new bike so it should be, but it's different from any other bike I've owned and both the wife and I can't think of anything else we'd like.

[Unit:Me]

Well seems like we have the girl vote in the love my bike catagory. Any you guys out there loving ya bike? I know Jimbo wants to sell his Prilly and buy his old BMW back, now that I respect big time.

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.

Sometimes my wife out-weights how much I love my bike.

We have a great balance in our house. I love my bike so much want to do 100,000kms on it, just to tick that box, and Chris loves to test own as many bikes as there is variety, so we get the best of both worlds in our garage, always spoiled for choice (especially when the flatmate changes his bike too, its awesome).

Funny thing for me was I been back riding bikes for about 5 years. A mate spotted mine at a shop and said "open you mind".

The SV never fitted me...my new one does. Hell what a difference
