Had a birthday recently. Let's just say that I'm way closer to 70 than I am to 60. Shit Confused . I ran across this video the other day, posted on the IPCRC forum maybe 15 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vksdBSVAM6g. Got a little inspiration from it. Maybe it will brighten the day of another rider on BCF. Maybe I can keep it up for another 20 years. Here's hoping so. cheers.

I like this image which always makes me think, "He's still got it."

What a machine! A 40's (50's?) era water cooled vee twin scrambler with a springer fork and double leading shoe drum brake. Pardon my ignorance, but what is that? Looks fast. All I got to say is "wow."

My father-in-law's in a similar age range and he hurtles about on a 1.2L Bonnie.

Hey, that's not me (yet), it's an image found on the web. I had to do some research but it turns out to be a 1939 AJS V-Four 500 from Sammy Miller's museum in the New Forest.

I'm 58, riding for 20 years (I still wish I'd started sooner) and clearly a bit of a dinosaur because I'm still obsessed with (and riding) late '90s/early '00s sportsbikes. I'm only vaguely interested in modern bikes (often too ugly, too much electronics) and unlikely to buy one.

Having said that, I recently saw a brand new Moto Guzzi V85TT in the work's car park in a blue atlante colour scheme (grey; but I hate grey!) and became a little obsessed, looking up specs, reviews and prices. Thankfully the urge passed and I was left wondering, "What happened there?" It had come out of left-field.

Still, if I won the lottery I'm sure I'd dive in to the new bike market but I'd also stump up the money they're now asking for RGV/NSR250s.

Don't need no damn boner pills.
Shit, that's why I got a tank protector (progrip) on both my bikes. to keep my hammer handle from denting the tank when I ride. Cool

Thanks for the follow up, that AJS looks like a hell of a bike. I agree that there's something special about those Y2K era sports bikes. Although my experience and interest was focused on the 5th generation VFR, some don't consider it to be a proper sports bike. It always turned my crank, lol. These days I'm on a 2002 BMW oilhead, and I gotta say that with the Metzler Roatec's, I'm touching down the footpeg feelers way more often than I ever did on the VFR.
