Thanks I spent a good few hours polishing and chain lubing.. I had my headphones on, just polishing bikes in the sun - very therapeutic

Merch131 - Do you have any info on the CBX1000 turbo in your pictures? It looks very similar to the CBX turbo that was the first bike I ever went on the back of aged 15 that proved to be a very bad influence on me. I’m 52 now…….

That looks amazing!

I picked up an official 'No Time To Die' movie poster from my local theatre, now the Triumph corner is complete!

Very nice - the only new bike I'd consider buying - not really interested in sports bikes, and the adventure stuff leaves me cold. Also, I think, the only bike that makes more torque than my trusty Chief, and that in itself is a reason for lust...quite apart from looking good.

Thanks for the photos. Checking some of them for the second time lastnight formed part of my end of day wind down.

Not really, it was on the CBX Riders Club stand at the Stafford Classic Bike show at the weekend, had a quick look at the club website, but doesnt show that bike. You can see a little more in this part of a video I took at the same time

Fooling about with HDR photo settings in Lightroom editing. Works well on this old service station I think

I have never really looked into the current Tiger but that colour looks great. Especially with the knobblies. Whats the picture that we can just see with the signatures?

Never mind that.....what about the 6 cylinder Katana??!! The Harris framed Suzuki with the Ohlins front end would be my favourite of the bunch though.

Thanks. The picture is this one:



It's a signed print by Nicholas Watts. It was my best friend's, who passed away a few years ago, his wife gave it to me. It has extra sentimental value as I've been to Le Mans a few times with my Dad, and we used to camp near the Dunlop bridge.

The Suzuki 6 was built about 20 years ago by Pip Higham .. he ran a tuning shop for many years.. it was in an EFE 1100 I think, more recently got Katana bodywork.

This Harris..
