i used to have a Kwaka EN500
and before that 2x Z250 scorpions
i also have a moto roma virage 125 in the garage???
I once had a Francis Barnet 125. Did it's job but brought no joy. Never felt safe on two wheels.
I've got 3 rats called Vincent, Norton and Enfield...but I don't think that qualifies me!
I have had in the past a Gpz 600R and an 1100 Virago.

a friend in cyprus had a virago 434 and the tank was just cosmetic!!!!
you lifted the seat to put the petrol in ........gobsmacked!!!
my scorpions were ratz but not in the way i think you mean,
matt black and held together by the dirt!!!!
I must say the Yamaha Virago was a crock of **** . The GPZ was excellent and fast.

I just have a small Yamaha Virago 250. It's nice, though.
I've got a Yamaha Fazer 1000 called Patrick, he's getting on a bit, but is still terrific.
My Fine Young Man has a new upstart version of the same bike, no name as yet. I'm not in the least bit envious, obviously.
I love rat bikes, but don't have the skills to deconstruct one...
My luxury is a BMW R1200Ci, it only comes out in the fine weather when the roads are dry.
I know that doesn't make me a proper "biker" but I've done the wet and dripping bit in my youth and now I only ride to enjoy myself!
I ride a BMW R1200GS (black) and OH rides a BMW Adventure. We use ours for holidays and have done France, Spain, Austria, Germany, Switzerland. Himself has also ridden his across Morocco and the Sahara
I learned to ride so that we could have more luggage space and I could fit in heels and hairdryer
Good choice.
doesn't make me a proper "biker" but I've done the wet and dripping bit in my youth and now I only ride to enjoy myself I don't mind the rain though am not sure about the washing, drying and oiling afterwards.
the clue is in the name (-:
my name is Guzzinut and I'm addicted to big Italian Vtwins
This love affair began long, long before I met long suffering and faintly perplexed Bloke of Guzzinut. When he took up with me it was a case of love me, love my T3 (and the Triumph... and the RD in bits...) He's a tolerant, mechanically minded chap who seemed to take this in his stride (and has a Guzzi too now).
Self confessed bike enthusiast, I do like a road trip. I've toured variously to France, Switzerland, Spain/Portugal, Romania, Turkey, Italy, round India on a bullet, Hungary, Slovenia (dubbed "the avoid the Dunube" tour... It was the year that river flooded spectacularly) and Croatia/Italy last year. I've thrashed the T3 to Mallorca and round the UK a lot too.
The Bloke has recently taken up track days... despite the whole thing scaring me rigid, I'm joining in and aiming to improve
I ride all year round (if I dont I get serious withdrawal symptoms) and dont mind the rain, tho a house chock full of two peoples sodden bike gear from more than one day's worth of wetting can get a tad stressful!
Especially the week before last when the soaked gear collection included two sets of one piece leathers, track day boots etc in addition to the usual soggy road riding kit
