What other bikes do you own?

Post by Sullivj »

As well as my glorious new(ish) RT, I do have a couple of other bikes.


This us 'TANGO', my 2000 year CB500. She's done 17,000 miles now, and is ultra reliable. I purchased her just to take the Isle Of Man for the moto GP (watching, not racing!). It was my intention to sell her shortly after, but that was 3 years ago!

And this is 'PAM', my 1957 Ambassador Supreme. The Ambassador company was based in Ascott, Surrey. Quite a rare bike, you very rarely see them - even at classic shows. Originally, she was owned by a member of the Air Force, and then sat in a damp shed for 41 years. She was rescued and restored by a neighbour of mine, and I managed to purchase her before she went up for sale.  Not a quick bike, but a pleasure to look at.

As this was my CBF600 that I sold to a neighbour, to make room in the garage for me RT. It's a very reliable bike, on which I've done 10,000 miles, but it lacks character.

My Neighbor had a brand new CBX back in the early eighties. Got to ride second seat a few times. It was a rocket.

As the CBX, which I have known for thirty five years is so popular, here's a few more.

Thankyou, I often sit in the garden with a beer and just look. Kinetic art I think.
