Like all sorts of bikes, sportsbikes, cruisers, supermoto, motocross, old Brit bikes, old Eastern European bikes, trikes, sidecar outfits, streetbikes, custom bikes, streetfighters, drag bikes. Into traveling and all that good stuff, go to as many rallies and events as I can. Bit partial to watching enduro/motocross/supermoto racing too. Would like to do a few enduros, just for fun really, but have to wait until I finish my studies first I think! |

1992 Yamaha RXS 100

Purchased: Feb 2007
Info: Started first kick when I bought it even though it had not been ridden for over a year! Good fun on the right roads, very cheap to run and very light weight. Not bad on icy roads either. Suffering a bit from the previous owners'' neglect as I''ve ridden more miles on it in the last year (14,000+) than it had done in the first 15 years of it''s life. It''s slowly being restored though, currently th

2002 Suzuki DRZ 400

Purchased: Aug 2006
Sold: Sep 2007
Info: Good bike, great fun, powerful enough but not too powerful, bit tall for me as off-roader. Unfortunately had untold amounts of woe with the engine on this bike even though they are usually reknowned for reliability.
UPDATE: Recently found this thing''s engine chewed itself to bits when the person I sold it too sold it on again. Glad I got rid of it when I did!

Purchased: Apr 2004

2002 Yamaha DT 125
Photos: 4
Purchased: Oct 2003
Sold: Aug 2006
Info: Very good bike, great fun, most reliable bike I''ve ever had, user friendly. Best put road legal knobblies on for off-road fun, as dual-sport ones are a bit rubbish. I want another one for trail riding and a DT125X for road riding. I love them.

2002 Suzuki GS 500

Purchased: Oct 2007
Sold: Sep 2008
Info: She''s nothing too fast or powerful but she''s lovely. A good compromise between power and practicality. Unfortunately this one had a problem no mechanic I knew could fix so she had to go. Not having much luck with Suzukis, perhaps they hate me!
