Bolarks, why can`t I post pictures.... :cry:
That link would be a URL to post a pic Steve it would have to end with a jpg or similar something like http://www.somesite.com/filename.jpg

Yes. Must end in JPG. I had to change the format of that roadster pic from BMP to JPG before it would come up here.

Cheers

That's a cool looking Panther. 8)


And no, you're not losing your mind. You have become a well rounded enthusiast. In the mental sense that is. :)


I'm a Poirot fan (David Suchet) and the way the recent series showcased the elegance of the Art Deco period in London really got to me. So when I saw that Henderson. Wow.

Then there's this.

Has just arrived here: Sky Ace 125.

$1700 if you self assemble. You even get an Allen key.
Chinese. Very well made.

A mate recently bought one. Replaced the header pipe / muffler with a chrome bespoke version done in the style below: really sets off the bike.

He absolutely hurtles past everything down the steep twisty mountain roads near here. That's when he's not riding his Brutale,

I quite like the idea of owning a Armstrong 500 or Harley MT350.

AARGH My eyes :shock:

What a 'conservative' lot we are. Personally, I'd love one of those to chill-out on with a girlfrend after a rip on me 'no provision for a passenger' 'blade.

Mind you,when it comes to bikes I'm pretty promiscuous and given the chance I'll ride anything and everything. :roll:


BTW, has that r1200c got some sort of chrome 'shield' over the headers? :shock:

It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

I think they came with chromed headers Nick, I believe it's an orderable option for GS's and RT's nowadays (may be wrong)

I suppose as we're on a thread about bikes secret desires ..... is it limited to bikes :)

I do rather fancy a Suzuki Burgman Executive or one of the new BMW C600 scooters

Speak for yourself there El Nicko. ;-^) Oh - except for promiscuous bikes bit. :lol:

Still think the Henderson Art Deco (earlier) takes the cake, unless of course you'd like this:

Mines a little different insofar as I,d love to build a bike from scratch. Something on the lines of a Featherbed frame (that guy in Wales) with a Triumph Bonneville or Harley Sportster motor. Café racer without the clip-ons....Decent suspension and as light possible........one day maybe.
