Just as a matter of interest, how many of the current Goater population are bikers? What is your current steed? Any epic rides out this summer?

I've been a biker since before the enforced helmet law.
My current steed is a 1960 Norton Slimline 99 600cc.
Previous beasties from first to last have been Triumph Tiger Cub, Honda CG125, Honda RS250, Kawasaki Z400/4, BMW R80RT, Ducati ST2, Honda ST1100, Triumph Speedmaster, BMWR100RT.
Now I stick to my all time fav and inflation buffer, my good old Norton that only goes out when the weather is good coz I'm getting to old to be cold.

Had bikes for 35+ years. Currently xt660x, MT-07 & FZR1000 exup 1989, which I'm too scared to ride these days, come to think of it was scary to ride it 20 years ago! Off to Copdock near Ipswich Sunday, good show for a tenner, but will be a pussy and we'll take 4 wheels, anything under 21 deg these days they don't come out

I'm currently riding an FJR1300 - nice, powerful bike, comfortable to ride, fitted with panniers and a handy little Garmin mount for long journeys.

In the past I have leant towards sports bikes - I had a ZZR1400, then followed that up with a Busa - and part of me wants to get another sports bike purely for the performance and Poser Factor....

Don’t have a bike at the moment, last one was a Street Triple, prefer Naked bikes as it keeps the top speed down, or at least aware of it.

loved living in Lincs, some great rides, although not the best place to have an off.
