Mini riding bikers...

[Lee Bradshaw]

In another slightly arguey thread it occured to me that a lot of Mini owners are also bikers. I guess the community aspect of both is similar...

...so come on boys and girls, what you riding?

Mines an 01 RSV Mille.... A bit quicker than the MCS!

I currently have a 2001 MZ Skorpion and previously had a 1999 Yamaha FZR 600 (R.I.P.).

[Tigger, Eeyore & Roo]

A Triumph Daytona 1200. I got it new in '98 and then, about a week later, found that Eeyore was expecting Roo! Because of this the Daytona has only done 7000 miles in the last 6 years and it is really just waiting for Roo to be old enough to go out on the pillion seat.

Problem is, when I got the Daytona I couldn't bear to be parted from the old one. So I still have the Triumph Sprint 900 as well!

Going to have to have a clear out soon....

Ive got a 900 hornet only put 150 miles on it since I got the S .It takes to long to get kitted up. Im thinking of selling to go towards a works kit!

[randap]

A '98 ZX9R-C1 (the bad boy) with LOTS of extras..............owned since new.

[Billy Smart]

I used to have a Yammi thundercat, very nice bike and then went for a honda VFR 800, exellent touring bike, but now i have nothing due to an injury, but thats another story....

So i am waiting for my MCS to be made, to get back into the fun factor

As for the community thing, well yes it is the same and i do still have a lot of mates who were bikers and i do a lot of race meets as a marshall, you meet a lot of interesting people

I used to have a CBR900 Fireblade upto 1997/98 -- Until I had an accident with someone's porch!

Also owned a Kawasaki GPZ600R and a Honda CBR1000

Now sadly don't own one at all, just have to make do with the car
Wish I did but the wife won't let me have a bike

[Washy]

I sold my beloved YZF-R6 about 18 months ago. I still miss it Seriously tempted to get another bike at the moment though

[northandy]

I'd love one, but I know i'd end up 6 foot under......

Love Ducati's....

[paa100]

Had several BM's.

Last was a R100GS. Did a lot of mountains including the Stella Alpina Rally, the Alps, Picos, Dolomites

My MCS is as much fun - just in a different way.

Dont miss getting wet, hot, cold

I'm an off-road guy myself. Born and raised on motorcycles and racing since I was 5 years old. Had to give it up when I got married though. Been planning to buy a new bike since getting divorced but the MINI ended up coming first (More practical? )

My Dad still races - at the tender age of 71!! They're really demonstration races for pre-65 bikes but the old guys still give it some. I'll be over to watch him ride in Marks Tey in Essex on August 8th.

Honda Blackbird CBR1100XX (to give it it's full title)

I have a 99 Suzuki Katana 600. It’s my first bike and I’ve only been riding for a little over a year. Don’t get to ride it much lately; about two days a month. I absolutely love it but I wish I had more time to ride.
