bonkers fast, all day comfort and amazing handling (since I binned the OEM tyres and fitted dunlop sportsmarts).

and with the arrow decat system fitted, it sounds rather 'rude'

My crf250r was my prettiest by far, but most fun had to be the strokers. Yz250 was great

On the black stuff it had to be my zx7r, the wife wasn't that impressed with me having road bikes. Dunno why........

I really miss my 600 Bandit, did some fantastic journeys on that including from Newtown up to Wrexham (via the Horseshoe Pass), across to Anglesey (via Colwyn Bay) then down to Aberystwyth (via Snowdonia) and finally all the way back to Chepstow, all in a single day.
It was great fun doing track days at Castle Combe and Thruxton leaving the top box on too (well I had to keep my sandwiches safe!)

My Yamaha XJ650 was fantastic at soaking up the miles too, I miss that shaft drive!

Honda VTR 1000 SP1 My lads but I get to use it. Fantastic bike 107mph in second 0-60 under 3 seconds 100 not much later.

My CBR 600 FI sport. Handed down to me from my lad

VFR400 NC30 This had 42k on the clock but rode like new.

13 sep 09 13-15000 bikes turned out in a protest ride against north wales police. This was early morning at the horseshoe pass. we got blocked in for 2 hours.

This is what bikes are all about. No better way to tour the snowdonia national park.

My best memories are of my Triumph Daytona. Not the quickest bike in the world, but a nice change to all the Jap bikes I've had.
