And

Appears I had my 5VY R1 and a 929 Fireblade.

1997 VFR750



It was later sold to a TRC member, who sold it on to a RTTL member

A 1998 Fireblade road bike and a 1976 RD250 racebike. There might have been a 2009 Transalp 700 too, can't remember if that was bought in 2011 or 12.

A Husqvarna SMS610 which I'd got sick of and wasn't using, which led to me not riding a bike for a few years, which made me a miserable twat to live with.

on the route NApoleon Might be nearer 11.

A BMW R 1200 CL

more acurately April 2012 on the way to NIce/ Ville franche, Monaco, and a wander back to Blighty

sold it soon afterwards, something of the night about the front end on that one, traded in and the current 06 ZZR acquired chalk and cheese. that was an 07.

I knew the 'C' was the cruiser thing that James Bond rode, I just googled the CL.

You either really wanted a German made Road Glide, or you really need corrective spectacles.

This

The CL had fixed panniers and top box. It was a right lump but I went round Europe many times on it. Never missed a beat.

Wish I’d kept the little Piaggio really miss having a 2stroke.



Not the FJ that needed some serious money spent on suspension and brakes.




The Tenere is staying for good unless something better comes along.

Probably an R1150GS and a K1200GT.

I had the 20009 GSXR1000 K9 and a pair of TY250s.

The modified R100GS, a CRM250 and a KE100.

A ZZR 1100 and possibly a GSXR 750y.

I’m unsure of the second but I know I had one round about that time.

Nice mix!

Not many that year, a 2009 ZX10R and a heavily modified Ducati 1098 street fighter
