To keep this tidy.

Back in the day……….

My last bike, sadly sold a few years ago 1927 model C 500cc and a mid 70's TZ 350 at the Manx Grand Prix

I’d kill for that Ariel. Triumph would go.

 

[mdvineng]

It was a great bike. I miss it a lot. Ariel did a race kit for the TT in 27, high comp piston, close ratio gearbox, race cam, TT Amac carb and foot clutch lever, so that you could change gear with your lefthand and keep control of the throttle and steering with your right. This had the lot!
I also miss the TZ'ds 250<750, Honda rs125r and RG500xr

Memories...... had an XT600 Tenere for a while - fabulous thing, went anywhere & everywhere.
Some time later I had an IT490....... completely stupid thing, utterly unusable on the road if you wanted to keep life/licence. Thrilled & scared me silly in equal measure & I cut my teeth on a RD350LC, so not too easily worried.

I had the same experience with my te most recent bike I owned in the UK (sold to move to Indonesia) - a 1972 Honda SL350 (with a CL350 exhaust). People were always stopping me in the street or winding down their window at traffic lights to ask me about it:

I am very tempted to buy another motorbike now I'm back in the UK, but I really want my next motorbike to be electric.

I do still own a motorbike in Indonesia:

Some really nice bikes on here & it's great to see you guys have a 'dedicated thread' going.

I've only ever owned Japanese bikes (M/cycles), but have also ridden/used Brit' & German bikes, too.

I'll see if I can rustle-up some pix (photographs), as I still have five bikes - several are late 1970's
