If you could ride any bike/s what would it/they be? You dont have to own the bike just if you could RIDE it ;)


For me id love to take a ride on one of these.. i hear kicking it over is enough to break your leg...;)

Norton Commando 850: This is the electric start version but ive been told they were naff and never worked and thus came with a kickstart also. Id love to try to kick one over and see how they ride ;)


Id also love to have a go on both an old triumph, with the springed seats.. and an Ariel Leader... just for fun :)

I would like to get any information on one of these Greeves Twin Two stroke in a Cotton Frame I believe it did 1st ever for 250 two stroke100mph lap at brands in 60's that's all I know. I saw one back then it looked so fast long race tank little humped seat clip ons rear sets etc. It was real pretty I am looking for photos and articles on web but have found none. If there is one in still running today I would love to ride it:love3

Pretty much anything built by Lazareth, have a look at http://www.lazareth.fr/ and check out the Vmax with front and rear single siders or the VTR 1000 with a BMW mini supercharger on it or the bike with the Mazda V6 MX3 motor in it that still looks like a bike

The man is a friggin Genius :clap

Ohhh also Jack **** Katana from the blood runners cartoons by Andy sparrow http://www.bloodrunners.com/jack-****/index.htm or http://www.bloodrunners.com/ :party2
