I was wondering howmany motorcyclists are on the forum. This includes scooter riders as well.

So what do you ride?

I have a 1999 Triumph Thunderbird (photo attached)

That?s a very pretty bike Zephyr.

I would dearly love a bike but don?t have one right now as apparently the deposit for the house is more important. :'(

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

That is seriously sexy Zephyr.

[JesusCappuccino]

It is nice. Mind how you go.

we used to have one of these but had to sell it when first baby born.

It is a lovely ride! I got it a year ago to replace my Zephyr (photo attached).

I have a minty NC30/VFR 400

Only, it's in my mum's lock up in NW8 as I don't feel happy about leaving it on the street around here - especially after the rescent stories of youths pushing over bikes

Shame really because the hour long journey into town on the number 12 bus is doing my head in !!!

Asset - I like that older style

[snorky]

Mr Asset says:

We once rode round France (and I mean the perimeter) in '95 and Asset found the pillion so comfortable she nearly fell asleep several times. It was a great machine, classic muscle bike (the first Suzuki 4 stroke), although whilst the same colour, it had flatter bars, three discs and alloy wheels.

Still, one reason I don't have one now is because I would never cycle (and get fat).

I have a 5 year old Vespa ET4 125. I commute to the West End on it. Would like to do my test and get a big bike...will maybe have a word with Father Christmas about thst.

Have recently sold my Yamaha Fazer 600 - returned to full time education this year and, do you know, they make you pay tuition these days!?! ;-)

Anyway, temporarily without-bike :(

Still, graduation and decent money now only 3.5 years away, then a dream purchase beckons: triumph sprint ST 1050...

oooooo... I do like the Ducati Monster. The sound alone is fantastic!

[ladywotlunches]

I also own a vespa - but a baby ET2 50CC. Does the job nicely - commute into Holborn in 25 mins door to door - zips past those buses a treat!!!

At the Green fair last week they had an electric scooter/bike - Zippy or something. Anyone got one of them? Top speed is a fantastic 20 KPH - but realistically how often do you get to drive much faster (Average here - I'm sure none of you with big grown-up bikes are one of those lovely types who revs up to full speed between lights cos they can, then brake and I catch them up every time!!)

[zephyr]

20 kph - thats about 12mph which is very slow! I am not a very fast rider but I could not cope with that. I guess even that speed would be dependant upon the size of the rider so for me its top speed may only be 5mph!
