Dribble dribble...but never ridden one......found the engines lovely on RGV's but they were too cramped for me.
Oooo I do miss the smell of Castrol TTS
Mainly retro for me....
1982 BMW R100RS which I use for a bit of touring, gets a couple of thousand mile a year on it at the most.
2001 Husaberg FE501. Just rebuilt last Thursday after a full engine rebuild and 2 years waiting to be re-assembled
1980 Suzuki PE 250 T which I used a few times in enduros, now needs a little tidy up , no photo though.
1986 RG400, Jap import version of the great RG500. Just having more modern Suzuki brakes, forks and wheels fitted. Need to sort the wiring into a naked headlamp unit and spray a couple of panels and away we go.
Half of an enduro sidecar outfit....................the less said the better about that particular form of insanity !!
Cheers

Me: had a 1958 (mostly, some was later Indian stuff) Royal Enfield bullet 500 with a load of Hitchcocks performance stuff thrown at it.
My dad: 1972 BMW R75/5 currently having its gearbox rebuilt and a late 50s (I think) Norton International 500 in bits awaiting restoration (This is my inheritance)
Always loved motorbikes just as much as mountain bikes, but financially I can only afford one or the other at the min (I cant do either in moderation) and as my mates all ride mountain bikes that is what I chose.

If i don't meet the criteria of a 'motorbike' i don't care, tis to me. it sure is retro!
1980 C70. BTW That is NOT me! its my crazy mate.
Its awesome!
The retro bike and car building cost has prevented me from getting this MOT'd and insured sadly, I don't even have a clean safe helmet. Would love to get it sorted, this summer specially, hmm we'll see.

Mine's a TR6P (as in police spec) frame which was re-imported from Libya a few years back. Has been fitted with 1973 T140V motor. Really need to swap the frame as the cop one was single seater, lacking dual seat mounts, which have subsequently been bodged on by a PO. :roll:
Fortunately I scored a decent replacement frame with the all-important seat mounts off ebay for small money so all i have to do is swap everything over
. Maybe for next summer :roll: Get bits from Grin Triumph (Fife) and The T140 Shop in Shropshire and needless to say, ebay.....
Used to do the classicbikeforum before it got bombed - now resurrected but haven't visited much recently - too many bicycles.......
