• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

4. Kawasaki Z1000 A1 and was my first new bike.

5. Kawasaki Z1000ST with a Vetter fairing and touring luggage

6. Kawasaki 1000RX (Ninja)

7. Yamaha FJ1200

8. Yamaha MT03 which was a hoot but was like sitting on a concrete block!

9. Yamaha MT01 which was one of my favourite bikes but too tall for me.
2009 031.jpg

10. Triumph Street Triple R which probably would have killed me as it kept doing 130mph on our small "A" roads!
173650.jpg

11. So I decided that if I was going to live I'd have to slow down and I bought a mint condition 9 year old BMW R1150R
with just 7500 miles on the odometer. Loved it!
But after a couple of yearsI was having hip/ right leg problems and decided that my days on two wheels
were coming to an end which is when I discovered SPYDERS!

12. Can-Am Spyder RS-S SE5 which took a little effort to learn but was a great introduction to life on three wheels so after
two years I bought ....

13. Can-Am Spyder F3-S and despite my body going seriously wrong and causing me all sorts of grief, I'm still riding it
most days and as I am now almost broke (!) it will be my last big boy's toy!
 
As a self admitted and unrepentant motorcycle addict, I've owned around 50 motorcycles so far and hopefully will own many more before I quit. :doorag:

750 Nighthawk

1st one was our starter bike, Yamaha Virago 500. We liked it :-)
View attachment 140220

Next we graduated to a Honda Nighthawk 750, really liked it :-))
View attachment 140221

Then the 1st touring bike. Suzuki Bandit 1200S, loved it ! :-)))
View attachment 140223

Got tired of touring with soft sided cases so got the ultimate Sport Tourer, Yamaha FJR1300, really - really loved it! :)
View attachment 140224

Now with the 2015 RT-L. Only had it a year or so, hope to love it as much as the FJR. I'm sure we will :D


I had the same 750 Nighthawk and agree that it was a great bike ! Honda did a really good job with the balance of ergonomics, performance and function with the motorcycle. I'd certainly call it on of my very favorite two wheelers ! The inline four was such a sweet motor.

Regards,
Brion
