I may even make a series of them entitled: People you'd never expect to see on a motorbike. The Tate Modern will be clambering all over me to exhibit the artwork.

Hehe who else shall we have?

True, that front fork is a work of art, great design, beats them stupid bomber's that are way to bouncy, even when adjusted

1400, wow, worth it though if you love your bikes

That is one nice road bike, i can only imagine how fast that can hurtle along

I don't really know much about the road bikes like in Le Tour De France, more into my Giant trial bikes and DMR's and Mission etc... ID love to get back on my bike, but no one else will join me, they have all moved onto cars and motorbikes. I miss jumping off of walls and all that.

Wouldn't mind a bike like that you just posted up, nit sure how comfy they are though?

I haven't ridden one of the current generation of leftys, but they used to be such a nice fork to ride - I hate the forks that propel you back up after use...really takes the power out of your strokes.

The road bike is really fast - obviously having only the one gear makes it a nightmare going uphill though - Its my first road-style bike, and it is pretty comfortable - you need to build up your arms though as they take more of your bodyweight.

I used to do a little messing about like that - never got into trials though...not really my sorta thing - I like speed and competitveness (shoulder charging and the like...)

I really got into trials riding as a small hobbie with a few mates, never really got amazing at it, as we were always being hassled by the police,who always told us to sod off. Only really had a few places to go, like skate parks, which are **** for trials. Rode London once, along the southbank on my bmx, some of the guys there made me look shyte.

Oh god you probably know my boyfriend then, assuming the trials community is quite small, he is always bouncing around by South Bank or around London. God I can't even wheelie on a motorbike let alone a bicycle, so anyone that can do even basic trials stuffs, in my eyes, is super skilled.

Oi stop teasing us with that photo.

Aww thats ok, I have a few pics of meself sat on dream motorbikes at shows. Whenever I'm feeling down, I just look at them and pretend I own the bike. Imagination is a very useful thing...

I'm looking at this to start with:



Then I'll either go to this:



Or, more likely, this:

Excellent choices, even the Aprillia bike looks quite nice, and that won't break the bank either.

Second bike, nice gold wing, comfortable and easy to move around, not as heavy as they look. And the Lotus Elan such a nice car..

The Aprillia RS 50 is a reliable model and costs about a £1,000 or so (I use Autotrader) and around £100 to insure for new drivers. The Honda Goldwing is much more expensive and I worked out I could, perhaps ironically, be financially better off with a Lotus Elan.

In the end I'd probably have both the motorbike and the Lotus if I earnt enough when I'm older.

Quite a cheapy little option the RS50, to start out on, don't really wanna spend shed loads on a first bike.

Although it's not the fastest bike around I think it's ideal for a first motor and you can carry over any no claims discount with this scooter to a car on some insurers - I know Tesco do. So by having a slower scooter you're more likely to have less NCD etc. Then a few years down the line I can get around 40% off and a Lotus could be waiting for me (as long as it isn't an Esprit).
