I know there is distinctly two seperate camps but how about a pedal bike in the mean time, Expensive and old but retro for topicness  |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

i don't know if this will exactly help, but i miss my bike and its been a couple of years now. maybe 4!  just keep the memories. you always have them, but there isnt anything the same really. best thing to do is just watch a few moto gps, read a bit of mcn, keep the biking frame of mind but with a sabbatical from the practical side! |

i'm gutted, it was my 1st proper bike! most ppl I know did'nt agree with me riding a bike due to the dangers, mostly not created by bikers but hey! i'm in both camps car-nut & bike-nut i'm meant to be collecting a modded cylinder head for the mini turbo soon so hopefully some boosted mini antics may help the healing! hehe & going up the strip in it!  my vehicle reduction process is needed to make some better cars that i'll keep all oldschool stuff, my newist car is an 86  reanimation: I remeber those pace mountain bikes!flippin heck, i've not seen one of those since school, really pricey! i have had the pleasure to see one in the flesh too! I still have a specialized hardrock fs |

just sold my bike & seen it go! gutted to say the least, really gutted! i'll miss my little cbr400rr nc29, my 1st proper bike! & never really used it as much as i should have, if i get another it'll be an older machine for summer use, maybe an old single cylinder or parallel twin machine! bobber/flat-tracker stye, if anyone has pics of bobbers or flatracking bikes put them up pretty plz, i was ripped off on my mobile phone too! it got hacked into so my bill was a mental amount & nowt can be done! so not the best week, i'll miss having a bike an imense amount |

You`ll get another one  ;D Just uploading some pics for you as well so They will be along in a minute ;D Nearly bought a brand new Kawasaki TR250 when I was out in Japan... not this years model = no worth in Japan  But it was from a Kawasaki dealer and 0 miles - £1300  If its any consolation, I still miss my Monster that I sold about 3 or 4 years ago..... Full nut and bolt rebuild, Hi compression Pistons, Ti Termis etc.... Finished it, Rode it the 2 miles to the MOT station then called the new owner to come and pick it up   |

my cbr400rr is a simular sit really, i bought it a year before i passed my test, hated the dodgy 90's styling/graphic & a good mate said he'd paint it if a got the paint, he done thelot on it paint, new stailess nuts n bolts, refurbed the forks with new decent oil n seals, new chain sprocket, cush rubbers, tyres, single seat setup, micro indicaters, lowered it a little, yep! thats right! dynojet kit & it looked the tits! i rode it for about 400 miles & sold it! gutted, its the feeling of not having a bike to pop out on on a rare occasion, motorbikes are like fishing! you love or hate it but its in ya blood & a niggle ya wont get rid off for ya lifetime! time to look for a old put put put type bike, an old bobber style thing! that probobly leaks a lil oil i loved my cbr but i think i'm just a bit of a young fred dibnar, i obly like older stuff that i can work on  |
