Coddy beat me to it! I was going to say that I did more than 8 miles because I took the 'Long Way Round'. :log

Here's my new steed, had it about a month but not had chance to get a decent pic of it until last night. First bike i've owned that doesn't have rust, what a nice feeling!

Coming to a road near you.
This is my 1988 VFR I've had for about 12 years.
Pic was taken around 3 years ago but its been kept in a damp shed for the last year and a bit. After a clean up last week it looks about the same. Some small cosmetic work still to do but nothing too horrific.
Stripped the calipers and lubbed them up. Thats all it took to get through an MOT. They don't build em like they used to. Serviced it and its now good to go.
Planning on getting lots of runs in when I get home a week Monday :2up

Hi Mattiie

Nice looking bike. Not my style (or colour) but I can see the attraction. Especially like the gold rims with the blue.

My Newish ZX6r 636 and My old black Zxr400. My baby bike(Luke) was my first bike. He was a good bike but was sick of revving his baws aff all the time. Plus wanted something faster and loved the look of my brothers bike so copied him and got the 636. My friends have named my 636 buba!!

Nice bike darth, but it might be an idea to blur out your reg plate. ;)

I'm kinda meh on the whole blurring of number plate thing. People see my plate on a daily basis anyways. I am sure there is a good argument for it but i like to live dangerously! :freebird :freebird

Got the number plate bracket from HG. Its an oxford job (plate mate) and was a scandalous £20 :eek Can get very similar ones in halfords for £15 and no doubt even cheaper online. Was considering just fabricating something as there is really not much to it but was running out of daylight, wanted the job finished and couldnt be jiggered so just splashed the cash instead.

Hi folks,

I totally forgot I signed up to this forum! Anyway, here's a picture of my bike. I've had it 2 years now but don't really get out as much as I would like. Hopefully this year will be the year!!

Ride safely now :2up
