My ol lady (1976 honda 750 F1) hasn't been out of the garage in 5 years now ;( 2 years commuting on a low wage killed the joy of 2 wheeled transport for me, rebuilding the carbs after a superglue fix on the side of the rd, or the weekly head strip in the kitchen and not forgetting the fact I must be part cat as i have used up at least 9 lives riding wide on unexpectedly tight bends etc, the worst one however was when i got stuck between 2 articulated wagons with a diminishing gap on the M1 heading north, i just closed my eyes and opened it up, I got past em tho i can still go white just at the thought of it..

Lucky b'stard @broadblaster You found a woman who likes bikes. I constantly hanker for one again, but the missus don't like 'em!

Ah we both rode them for yrs but for her it was not a passion like it is for most of us.

Nice collection there.... More than a few grins (those R1's did tend to scuff a bit) - I particularly like the old KZ750 (err, KZ? I'd have sworn Z)

Z 750 L4 with Harris 4-1 pipe sold it to buy a 1100 eddie Lawson rep. But only had that for a few weeks as TBH it was a bit heavy for me (and the wife hated it).
