Always sad to say goodbye to an old friend ....... I know the feeling well
I bet there will be another one day !

Yes, agreed Steve, but in truth I'm trying to thin out my modest collection of bikes and also want to put this one back on the road - last used in 2016.....

Looks like a wheelie machine right there !

Put some pictures up a while ago of my trike. Done quite a few miles on it since then. Hit the v boost couple of times....that was fun. Handles pretty well. Doesn't like low speed, tends to shake its head a bit but over 30 it sorts itself out.

That looks fun, plenty of power too!!

Certainly is plenty of power. It's the full power version, 145bhp.

It was just too nice today not to get out on the bike so I took a ride out to the memorial for RAF Bradwell Bay. This is really out in the sticks (for Essex) and some lovely riding roads.

A nice visit to France on the xsr earlier this year to pay my respects.

My first bike was a Kawasaki KH250 reg MLY 766P.
My current ride is a Ducati Multistrada V4S Sport. I've had every model of Multistrada starting from the 1000DS, then the 1200, 1260S and now V4S.
Pictures below, oldest and newest. Many miles on all of them.

Very nice Steve. I've been lucky enough to ride all the various Multistrada models over the past few years, but have yet to get a go on the V4 version. Have to say that they seem to have become more refined with each iteration.

You're not wrong Nick, the V4 is unbelievable if a little too much power, more then I could ever use. However, it eats up the miles and is extremely comfy and when you arrive, take the panniers off to ride mountain passes and switchbacks.

Love my current ride. 2020 Fat Boy.

Always loved cruisers and had various makes and models over the years, including Suzuki's and Viragos. My wife currently has the 750 Virago. Lovely bike too.

Said goodbye to this one last week. Been in the family since 1986, it was my wife's bike after she passed her test. We only paid 75 quid for it originally, but it had a bit of a makeover around the turn of the century when parts were still plentiful and relatively cheap.

Still got a couple of two-strokes.

Always had a love for those early trialies, not the same,but my very first bike was DT 125 in '82
