Same title.... slightly different thread.

Those of you who ride to and from work, do you see the same bikes each day on your journey?

I do. There's a red Honda which I pass going in the opposite direction - I don't know what the bike is, but I'm sure it's a girl rider - and an all black bike with a very high upright riding position (I don't know what it is but it's not a cruiser) where the rider is all in black bar a blue helmet. The Honda always nods but the blue helmet NEVER does. These are my 'regulars' but I see other bikes too and always give them the nod.

Yeah, I pass a Honda Deuville the rider whom never nods, and I also pass a VFR750F, he always nods.

If I am on the early shift I also see a Suzuki Burgman and an Aprilia SR125 2-up. Smile

There are hardly ever any bikes around here, but I often follow an Aston Martin DB9, and always pass a bitchin' Corvette. Drooling

Yup. Blue zzr600 rider, always nods. Blue blackbird rider, always nods. Then there's this kawasaki something or other rider. Out in ALL weathers, come rain or shine, always pass him at the same point. Mucho respect, always going quick, no matter what the weather. Thumbs Up

His bike sounds gorgeous too, must be 15 years old, lovely cruiser. I know babyyam would know what it is if she saw it. Thumbs Up

Don't see many bikes on my daily run, but guess that's down to the roads I use.

I remember seeing the same bikers everyday on my 25mile commute to Epsom eachday for Uni. Everyday coming through Ashtead I saw the same XJR1300 at around 9.40. I used to nod to him like all the other regulars (kinda like a Groundhog day each morning) he was the only one that didn't nod. It took him just over a year to before he finally acknowledging me.

When I was working the other week (looking for new job) I passed many a bike going into London along the A20, normally in groups of 10-15 from the lights. I'm sure some were the same but i'm fucked if I know. Laughing

Quite good for spirited get aways from the lgiths with fellow motorcyclists *officer*. Great sitting on my Dad's new Deauville today as I could turn round and watch everyone go as the bike is nice and slow.

Deauville, underrated bike. Nice and comfy and moves ok for what it is.
