The RR's are amazing, tried one out last summer, but found that I was barely scratching the surface when road riding at legal speeds - may get one as a track day bike at some point though

My bikes… 

Triumph Thruxton, 2004, own custom made

Husaberg FS570, 2011, with racing modifications (wheels, Akrapovic exhaust system, air filter…)

that Triumph

[tatmantall]

"what triumph?"…..
Just kidding, I'm not going to start that shtick again

[summ3rhays]

Sweet Thruxton.  I came so close to pulling the trigger on one before I lucked into my current ride.

[Hannya1977]

thanx summ3rhays. but yours duc is also hot!

[summ3rhays]

Kind of funny, but I thought it was a used Thruxton when I saw it.  I bought it at a BMW/Triumph dealership.  It was a couple years old, but only 4,000 miles and they were selling it for 3,000USD less than a Thruxton.  Couldn't pass it up.

[SpaceGnome]

how often do you need to adjust the valves on that Husaberg?

[Hannya1977]

i'm not sure. i think about after every 4000 kilometers. you should find it online in the manual.

[Hannya1977]

it is the ducati sport 1000?
great price for a duc!
The thrux are to expensive…

[summ3rhays]

Yep, that's the one. My version is the 1000s as it has the 1/2 fairing.

Yesterday we saw this brilliant brace of BMW's.  They are being ridden by a Canadian couple, doing a world tour…

Then today, we came across this beautiful old R27, that ain't going anywhere fast (though I would take it in a heart beat)…

[tatmantall]

holy crap. that r27 is amazing

[Giles]

Further research (which is tricky in Crete), suggests that it may be an R25 not an R27 - ongoing research is happening….

[mclaincausey]

Google image search confirms an R25. The R27 has a more rounded fame at the back.

This is the closest I have found.  Inc the side car…

BMW / RSD Concept 90.

[Clint_D]

It's no surprise that Roland Sands had his hands all over that concept.  I'm envious of almost all of his work.

Great weather on memorial day for doing a little maintenance.
