What bikes do your work colleagues ride?

[Al]

Its a poor first post as only one chap I work with has any kind of two wheeled transport and that's a yamaha majesty 125. No interest just run to save on commuting costs.

So as you can probably guess work motorbike banter is limited.
"So on these trackdays you just ride round in circles? whats the point" and "So your just going to ride down to the south of France then come back, Why?"

That's harsh for you.

I was wandering around the yard (I am an IT Eng at Aerospace Org) and had a lovely chat with a 600 teapot owner (I have the 750 version), a guy with a BMW 1200 something or other, a Harley owner and a gixxer rider.

There's around 1200 people in the yard and I know most of them. around 50 - 75 bikes in the yard daily.

One guy has just done home to Andalucia and back to raise money for Alzheimers research.

[neil.]

Let's see if I can remember this properly, the regulars:

Suzuki SV650 (you know who you are), Yamaha T-Max 500, Triumph Daytona 955, Suzuki Bandit (can't remember the cc might be 600 or 900), Honda Deauville, Honda Innova (stolen/scrapped recently).

Always end up late for work if we bump into eachother first thing and get chatting!

There are more but not as regular or park in different parts of the car park to those.

[Nexus Icon]

There can easily be 20+ bikes in our car park on any given day, especially nice days like today, but of the 5 of us in my department 4 have licences, 1 has no bike, 1 has a Z1000 in bits, 1 has a GSX-R750 and a garage full of ZX6R and RD350LC and I have my SFV. There's some nice stuff amongst the rest of the workforce though. Stripple, CBR-RR, R6, ZX6R, Tiger, Monster, Hornet, WR250, the list goes on.

In a building of 500ish we have pretty much every kind of bike outside on a really sunny day! Theres bikes such as my aprilia, one of the KTM RC8's, one of the sporty BMW's, a red ugly benelli thing, a lanky bmw enduro thing, a harley, a dragstar, a tuono, a white goldwing thats massive, some kind of blue trike and the usual gerneric GSXR's of every age, a fireblade, a yamaha R125, couple of crossers and a really old BMW with a sidecar. Plus a few odds and sods, 400 hondas that I dont know the name of, a pair of oldish zx12's and the other day a zzr1400!

Its nice when something new turns up, our bike park is nicknamed 'the showroom' as it faces the road and theres constantly people milling about looking at the bikes. I can see it from my window at work, its quite distracting!!

I'm in a company of 4 people (Including me) ... I like to chat about bikes to myself on quiet days

Though the rest of the company all seem to have had accidents on Bikes in their youth which has put them off.

One went into a tree and broke a limb - No more biking.
One went down a thin, downhill, one way street into a van and broke two limbs - No more biking.
And the last one had the worst accident of all. He stupidly let me buy his Bike off him, and couldn't afford another one

Guy in my office has an SV650, another has a tuono, another has a varadero and a DR650, another has a sprint st, and another has a wee cruiser 125 thing.

Work banter is very limited as i've yet to find the time to chat to any of them

[stonesie]

Theres a few regulars and some not so regulars.

Sukida 125... ex bike instructor rides this, would think he would know better.
CG 125
GSXR 600 SRAD x 2
Piaggio 125 scoot... (the rider of that is heauge)
theres a quad bike too, dunno what it is.

[MarJay]

In an office of 120 there's just me, a guy with a CBR600RR and a guy on a classic Vespa. I know at least two others who have bike licenses who don't ride to work and thats it. But we do have a huge car sized space all to ourselves.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[GrantT]

building of approx 100 with another building of approx 100 opposite.

1 bike between all of that, a 600 Fazer.

Soon to be my Speed Four added to it as well

Actually, one of the security guards who is hardly ever on shift has a gixxer, but i've only seen that twice in 2 years!

[The Shaggy D.A.]

There's a shiny new BMW R1100RT, some shiny new Triumph Daytona plastic thingy, some shiny new Kawasaki Ninja ZX plastic thingy, some shiny new Ducati plastic and meccano kit thingy and apparently an SV650 that is yet to actually show up in the flesh. And my CB500, recently given a wipe over as it rained last week. There was a girl on a shiny GN125, but she only stayed 2 months.

Loads of high quality pedal cycles in our shed, Specialised, Boardman, Trek etc. Lots of very healthy and fit colleagues. I'd rather lift weights in the gym at lunchtime. Not many bikes, my Hornet, a CB1300, A Fazer 6, a Mille race rep, a couple of old 125's (one of which is a Yamasaki?) and several crap scooters, one nice Vespa and a really kak electric scooter which the guy has NO idea how to ride. It's hilarious.

Lots of bikers where I work who don't commute.

[Dazbo666]

The only other regular in our undercover carpark is a Burgman 400 that one guy uses to cut down on car petrol costs, and to avoid the Severn Bridge toll

There's an occasional Gilera scooter/moped of some description, which is has to be said has seen better days, with its duck taped mirrors and seat, and extensive rust...

One of the security guards rides a Harley Heritage Softail...
and a former guard had a V-Rod, a centenary edition Road King and a Fireblade

However, our office supervisor although not a rider, is definately a petrol-head, so mechanical, technical and practical discussions are usually a regular thing here

[keggyhander]

For a site employing 300 people, there's a poxy little lean-to to put bikes under. Usually there's:

A push bike

Italjet Dragster 125

Two old Vespas

Yamaha Aerox 50

Piaggio NRG 50.

I call it the "PED SHED", and usually park the wildstar in the directors car park. Nowt's been said yet.

[P.addy]

Harley 883 Sportster and the other has a GSXR600 2009 model

Neither ride in and the conversations are fairly small, maybe cos im fairly new and have long hair

[Irn-Bru]

Only ever seen a few scooters. Talk to one of them, but the bloke waffles a load of shite tbh There was a young lad with a 600 (cant remember what exactly) but he had an off and his lass won't let him get another bike. Sad really! Used the comp money to do car test so thats that. Oh and some pikey insist on leaning his pedal bike on my bike, does my head in, cover or not he can piss off and lock it up somewhere else instead
