Still got my Fazer, though looking for something single or twin cylinder for a change this summer.

Oh and I have a GT avalanche 2.0 bicycle, it's the nicest bicycle I've ever owned :p

I never managed to save any of my old photos of my bikes but out of all of the bikes I had, my most enjoyable was the Honda CB250RS, here is a pic which is closest to how mine looked:

My superdream was much faster but just never felt as good as this old 4 stroke.

I also built a DT125 and GS400 from scratch, will show pics if I find anything close to how they looked.
LOL bought them in a sale, in 8 boxes of bits and put them back together.

Been out and about on my ural again.We had The Taverners trial event last Sunday.A road or off road run with 2 routes of about 50 miles in the morning and about 40 miles after dinner.
Here are a few of the bikes on the greenlane run.The oldest was a 1930's hand change triumph up to a few modern KTM bikes.The Norton stopped in the same place last year.water in the magneto.it was fine once it dried out.

Here is my ural getting wedged in a rut made by a 4X4.In all we did about 160 miles and the bike was fine apart from snapping a footrest off while stuck in another rut.

Frist off you dont "Drive" a motorcycle. Driving is for cars. You RIDE a motorcycle. Pics are of me on my 2007 KTM 250SXF. Im getting ready to sell my 2007 and buy a 2012. Cant wait to finally own a fuel injected bike...I hate tuning carburetors. Im a factory certified technician for Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki & Yamaha watercraft, ATVs, motorcycles.

First off you "drive" a motorcycle in Finland. Riding is for horses. You DRIVE a motorcycle. :IS2:

fail.
Ride a motorcycle, drive a car. The usage comes from equestrian usage and is related to the fact that shifting your weight on a motorcycle is a means of control.

Sorry mate.But you drive an outfit.Forget what you know about riding bikes if you have a go on an outfit.Its nothing like a solo bike.In fact its nothing like any other vehicle on the road.
But once you have scared yuor self s***less a few times the grins start.

driving the bike somehow implies being under control. Riding is more like hanging on and praying you dont die before you get where your going....

Riding definitely fits better yknow? :D
