Show us your Classic M/C

How many do you need…….
I have had the R 50 for last 15 years , she not yet mated up with the Seib LS350. Thats a really an early and original one, has not been restored.
Well and then there is the 1991 GS PD, restored and runs well. Just recently converted her to 320 front brakes …last but not least the 1150 GS, which is almost a classic and 15 years old now…well good stuff and hugely enjoyable

My 1978 Bonneville T140V. It compliments my R11GS very nicely ! Later model rack/grab rail and ali Akront rims (just in case there are any purists looking)

This I like very much

Nice bike , could do with some better tyres maybe.

 

[Robh1664]

Thanks Fatal. I think it was the last year they were made in the original Triumph factory (or thereabouts).

The Slabbie and RD are gorgeous !

Purchased from this very forum recently. Stripped the bodywork down for a deep clean and drained the tank and coated the inside with a film of oil and have dangled silica gel pouches in it as it will be sat there for a while. Also put a wee bit of oil in the plug holes and turned it over via back wheel to coat the bores. Battery removed as well. A design masterpiece and i can just sit and look at it. Wife isn't quite so enthusiastic, but she doesn' t appreciate automotive design.

When I saw that bike for sale and then 'Sold' shortly afterwards, I would have bet my house that you had bought it..Nice one !!......

Now that is what you call a proper work of art.

 

[Farmboy]

Weighs less than most peoples loaded panniers !

Old Norton

Did a 400 mile round trip to Applecross last week on my old adventure bike. Getting it ready for the Gentleman's Ride at the end of the month.Nearly 80 years on still going strong

I think this is the best thread on UKGSer.

Devon, that Norton desert racer is just impossibly beautiful. Same goes for a couple of those T100s.

The British bike industry may have lost its way in many respects, but wow we were certainly making pretty bikes.

Here's one from me - let's call it an emerging classic. It's a surprisingly comfortable bike to ride.

Nice place to stop and break out the flask on my way home

Farmboy I luvin those panniers, dont tell Touratech they might copy them. What a great combination of bike, view and you to ride it there. Well done

 

[Farmboy]

Its worse than you could possibly know.

i found one of the wifes old leather shoulder bags on top of the wardrobe a few months ago, it was light brown with a shoulder strap.

She had at least 3 others since on the go so I broke out the black leather dye and blacked it all over, then cut the shoulder strap off and mounted it to the bike with a bracket.

It took her a few weeks until she finally recognised it


To be fair I was only 3 miles from my home, so I wont be signing any book deals just yet
