Dream SOB

Heh, I vaguely remember when the CBX came out - legendary stuff.

I went to "Cassington Bike Night" last year with a mate who is about 10
years younger than me, I spotted a CBX, and a Morini 3 1/2 and started to
wax lyrical. He had no idea: a) what bikes they were - "never heard of
them", or b) what the attraction was. Made me feel bloody old.

That's a bit similar to mine:
Suzuki 1000 Katana
Laverda Jota
Benelli 750 Sei (but only if I can have the 6 into 6...)
BSA Rocket 3 (1971 ish)
KH400

 

Magni MV Agusta 850/900
Egli Vincent
Krauser-BMW MKM1000
Gilera Saturno 500 (the '50s one, not the later 80s/90s one)
Laverda Montjuic

Hmm. Two or three of them appear to be halfway affordable, even

I suppose one could argue two.

 

Surely, you mean the pedae/peda/pedums*?

Dr Ivan D. Reid was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

I have a lightened GT380 for sale if you're interested. Fairly cheap
as well...

 

What? given up already

 

Hog was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

No, not given up. However I just know that I won't have the time to
restore it in the coming months to the level I want it to be at, plus
I'd have to have a lot of parts like rearsets made up for it, and even
I am not that daft.

It's a nice bike, I really enjoy riding it but the way it looks atm
it'll just turn into another mad adventure I can do without at the
moment.

 

But it's the only reliable bike you own...

 

In order of 'progression'

Yamaha FS1-E DX in Yellow, 1977
Kawasaki KH250, 1976
Suzuki GT500, 1975
Triumph Trident T160, probably a '74
Kawasaki Z900, '74/'75 I think

 

They'd be on my list.

I don't really covet SOBs enough to want 5 of them though...

 

Vincent Black Lightning (ok, technically a race bike, but nothing a
number plate and a couple of lights won't fix
Triton
RD350 YPVS (check)
Scott Flying Squirrel
Morgan 3-wheeler (JAP engine, none of this Matchless shite)


Hmm, can't really class all those as SOBs

 

So you say.

 

<stentorian bellow>

This is no time to be giggling in the corner, boy! The monotreme has
omitted the Dexion, FFS!

</sb> <small voice>

Or is that the custom bit?

</sv>

 

I live in a world of Dexion and the like. Did I mention I was breathing
while I typed?

 

One cannot assume anything apropos The Monotremosity.

 

Soon, grasshopper, you will be ready to leave the temple...
