| G-Boy | Enfield Bullet 350 | I named her my beautiful Carmen (cos she was the 'Electra' model). Got slated like f**k from Bullet officionado's for getting electronic ignition, but loved riding past the cheap skate bastards as they fiddled with their old fashioned points by the side of the road. Also I got double the mileage out of her, so she paid for herself after 5,000 km in India. Sold her to one Mr. Greg New who recently took her over the highest motorable road in the world - to Laddak in northen India. | 2005 | 2006 |
| Nick | Triumph Black Speed Triple | Looked great, somewhat lost confidence in her after a slowside up in Aldworth, Made me realise that if your going to go fast then you need a fairing! | 2004 | 2005 |

| JFD | Kawasaki ZX7R Ninja | Green/White/Black. Love it (from new). Full Akrapovic, braided hoses, a couple of scuffs on the fairing and I am all "mean and green". Well for one or two days a week anyway! | 2002 |
|
| JFD | Honda XLR 250cc - | The same goes as Alex's comments below. Good fun on the road too. Supertrap exhaust gets up car drivers noses and gives an extra boost! Still got it stored in garage (as winter hack), must get it back on the road. | 2002 |

| Nick | Kawasaki KE175 | first own bike. Parents wouldn't let me have one so I waited until they went out for the day and rang someone from Exchange and Mart to deliver it. Cost £100 of pocket money. Seat held on with baling twine, knobble rear tryre, large bolt for a footpeg, no lights, no keys, broken throttle cable that would stick on full throttle, so you'd have to reach down and pull off the spark plug cover as you rocketted out of control. . used to wear a skateboard helmet , gardening gloves and wellie boots. and head all over the Berkshire woods. MMM hooning across StokeRow wreck with 10 lit fags in my mouth, stamping on the rear brake and drawing a trench of mud down the whole length of the cricket pitch...
