this is a 1993 gs500 which cost me £170. i rode it from john o groats to lands end on friday 21st of june (longest day) to lands end stopping only for petrol, food and toilet breaks not using motorways in 24hours to the minute.

all in the aid of charity. i raised about £700 quid and the group i was riding with have raised a total of over £18k for cancer research uk. the rules were £300 bike maximum! some of the other bikes were properly hideous and unbelieveably the first bike to arrive at LE was a honda cbr125!!

Aah, the days when you could advertise fags on race vehicles

Excellent work Jamie.

Some cool bikes at http://www.iainclaridge.co.uk/blog/?s=bike

From which I found http://thebikeshed.cc/

I rode a Honda CD 175 from London to JOG, that took me about 3 days stopping in Newcastle. Was going to carry on to Cape Wrath but after three lonely boring nights in my tent in the rain (no iPods in those days) I was so depressed I went home.

yes i didn't believe it myself but my missus was there waiting at LE. it did 90mpg being held on the stop for 908 miles

At last a proper bike. The HRD I mean.

Great JOGLE story.

a google search for 'cool motorbikes' seems to indicate that my sense of aesthetics are out of kilter with most motorcycle owners.

Cool? maybe, maybe not.

but it is moi....

I just did an images search for spondons, looking for one particular bike... I'd forgotten how tasteless most of them are! Eyebleach pls.

In my opinion, there's nothing in this world
Beats a '52 Vincent and a Redheaded girl.
Now Nortons and Indians and Greavses won't do.
Oh, they don't have a Soul like a Vincent '52. 😀

Indeed mugsys, hence the B Rapide!

1000cc, V-twin. Proper.

Cheddar cheese and pickle
The Vincent motor sickle

Nice to see pics of motorcycles with visible engines. Not saying I don't like fully faired bikes but I have a real soft spot for those bikes that gave me a hard spot when I was a spotty youth, here's my contribution.

Why is there a very small man balanced on the handlebars?

Its the only bike picture I've got, but it was waaaaaay cool at the time. My parents told me a while back that they got called into school by my teacher because she thought I was having delusions - telling all the kids I had been riding my motorbike at the weekend. They took great pleasure in putting her right!

Ah yes. The Fantastic Britten. Remember seeing them racing at Snetterton in the early to mid nineties and then seeing one in the museum in Wellington. RIP John Britten.

Now anyone got any photos of LC's?

[img] [/img]

As bikes go it's quite run of the mill, but it's mine, and I think it's cool.

Racing sunday if I can get the last few jobs finished off, has a new exhaust now & silencer since this pic, just a few last bits to tackle.

40MPG, Italjet, way cool. I crashed my cousins once.

cb750kz with a tweak or two...

I do love these street scrambler things that are all the rage now.

i have a basket case cb750 in my back garden just waiting for me to obtain some ability and time to try and replicate that one...

How hard can it be !!!!

Ah. Was about to congratulate you on your work Steels!

A bit marmite of course but its mine and I rather like it
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]
Yes please.

my old mans bike is pretty cool imo, mine in the background is the opposite!!

Twenty years ago I was riding one of these:

Around the tight twisty roads of the south Lake District it was perfect, a real big bike slayer. Still a looker in this day and age IMHO.

I have no idea why but I'm strangely drawn to one of these. Must be an age thing 😉

Agree with the street tracker look being fantastic, especially the ones from Deus.
Lots of great bikes posted here.. http://www.pipeburn.com/

[img] [/img]Do imaginary ones count?

25 years ago I had one of these....

[img] [/img]

Tuned it and rode it as hard as I dare 8)

I'd love to get another bike...

...and I always wanted a Suzuki RGV250 or Kawasaki KR1S

It was nearer 30 years ago that I had one. Well, two actually. Then a ypvs then an RD400. Ying, and indeed, ding.

Going back to the above - here's a Goldwing I [i]would[/i] like!

25 years ago I had one of these....

My best mate died on one of those many moons ago. 😥 Good lord that thing was quick. 😯

RAAARR

and for special occasions...

Theflatboy.... Niceish but the cafe racer bikes are not my thing. I prefer it in original form.

The old man had one of these back in the day. Should have kept it![img] [/img]

I love that Wing, it shouldn't work...

This is one of my favourites, not the best shot though.

Saw this at Mallory Park Festival of 1000 bikes back in 2011, Ogri would be proud 🙂

epicyclo, very nice, the pictures date you quite a bit!

Is that a Ford V8 Pilot?

Esselg - stunning! Loving the Indian 😀

Wrecker - the Yamaha is also a thing of beauty

The Norton Inter was a mate's. It used to frustrate him that my wee Triumph could blow him away, but it was so light I could lift it off the ground.

And more recently
