2 general questions not meant to offend or intimidate.

1/ When was the last time you actually rode your 'bike over 50mls?

2/ Do you actually own a 'bike??


My answers;
1/ 3 months ago due to knee & hip surgery.

2/ Last time l looked there was a 'bike in the garage.

1. About two years ago. Would've been about 150 miles for a day out, which used to be typical for me, anywhere up to about 200 miles.

2. Yes, but it has been SORNed for those last couple of years due to lack of funds. So is my car, with a dead battery and a flat tyre
I'd sell the car if I thought it was worth anything, but it'd have to go as is, and it isn't worth anything, though it was perfectly ok last time I drove it.

My lack of dosh offends me

You bother to post a pic of a minor scratch?

Another chance to spam the forum with a pic of mine? Ta, I'll take it!

1) September was the last time I rode any distance (100 miles each way to visit Mum), but commute to work is ~20 miles each way. Would normally use it more but, you know, COVID

2) Yes. See above (and below)

In January with child on his new (to him) Mito, it might have not been quite 50 miles though, I wasn't counting. It was however thankfully faster than the time before when he was on his moped...

I currently own 1 but somehow still pay for the other 2 as well in the garage

[stinkwheel]

1) Today, 127 miles
2) No, I currently own 2 bikes.

Today, when the rain stops after lunch time.

All my site visits are planned around the weather report if possible. Shame the weather report appears to be made by old men staring at a bit of hanging seaweed and studying chicken's entrails for inspiration.

Everyday.

I own 4. Currently on the rusty one which I don't care if it is water soluble or not, but I don't think it'll be much longer before the salty roads are gone.

Will switch bikes then. These days being able to SORN, and tax vehicles on-line means you can just switch bikes willy nilly without any real foresight.

Probably November since I last did 50+ miles in one stint but I'm still riding every day for commuting purposes.

I've got a few, but they're tucked up for winter and I'm running a ragged old bandit this year. It's cosmetically a little rough but mostly mechanically sound except that recently it's been running intermittently on 3 cyl when it's wet. Carb has been cleaned and it's still doing it, I reckon moisture in or around the coil/HT lead so I'll replace that next. It was cheap and will be getting punted in spring anyway, I've dropped it twice in the snow this year so glad I picked it up

November. A nice 150 mile jaunt round N.Wales.

I currently own 2 bikes, this number varies between 0 and however many I can actually secure from scrotes.

[martin734]

2. Yes, I own an ST1100.

I rode to Maidstone just before Christmas, so that's about 80 there and back I suppose.
An easy A2/M2 journey, though I hate the Medway bridge at Cuxton with a passion (mad winds).

Before that, I think I was down in Wiltshire about a month prior to that (when did Maggie break her legs?), its about 100 down and 100 back if I don't go round the M25 - which I rarely do, I prefer coming through town.

Might potter over to High Beach this arvo, just to clear its throat.

I have several bikes in various states of disrepair. The only one that currently works is the sportster, and it needs a bit of welding on that back fender brace before I venture too much further on it.

The Suzuki GSX750 is tucked up nice and warm in a workshop somewhere in Greenwich, although I really should call them about that
My Super Tenere (Yam 750) is in many rusty and corroded pieces, in my garden shed.
There is also half a Yam XJ900 (pre-Diversion) in there, but which the engine is out in the garden, majorly fucked.

Anything else you need to know? Jeez
