Looks like certain bikes are quite common between the microlighters, unless we shared the same era :?:
Mine looked like this:
1. Honda cub (pos donkie)
2. Honda MT5
3. Honda MB5
4. Suzuki GS 550E
5. Yamaha RD 350 special edition, black and gold. Still the most awesome machine
6. BMW F650GS (got stolen)
7. BMW K1200LT (still have it for long distance trips) What a beauty.
8. BMW F650GS To replace 6 above. (use it for shuttling to meetings from my office)

Below is one photo of where NOT to ride with a 1200LT vhpy vhpy

That LT is a beauty (^^) - Don't like sand though, same with my RT - Lovely on tar but stay away from sand vhpy

Looking at that deep sand even a few GS riders might have gone down - You know what GS stands for?

Geen Sand vhpy - And I can make fun of BMW as I own one

Hi JvTonder.

Do you still own the 41 Harley. Post some pix. I see you were more into on, off road bikes.

Fiance gave me THE choice many moons ago - her or the bike (she worked in ICU treating the "head injuries" who fell off their bikes). Hmm. Future father-in-law had background (a good few hectares of it) so bye-bye bike.

My list is short:
Honda CB185 :oops:
Suzuki GP125 :oops:
Honda CB400N vhpy

Jeepers Jv - Thats quite an impressive list.... so now begs the question to all, in two categories - street and off road, which qualifies as your all time favourite... for me, (off road) - has to be the CRF250 - 4 stroke, reliable as an old toaster and awesome fun.... closely followed by the XR200R (in its day) when pro link suspension had just come out, could wheelie that thing for weeks.... !!

also DYING to here from Rudix - I know his toy box of bikes was splitting at the seams >?? Rudix??
