Hard in Europe, or just hard?  Looks like pretty easy in US - and we visit there a lot

[Dmart]

Hard in europe. haven’t seen many retailers here. in the US it’s different, yes.
Let me know if you bring them over, I’ll take one

@Dmart I do need to comply with ECE and was actually considering the Shoei JO helmet. So might go that way in a few months time. Cheers for the input!

[Dmart]

You’re welcome. Just in case I wear the same size in both helmets, the Glamster and JO.

Hey all, newish member here.

Been riding many years, still riding most of the year despite the British weather not giving us much to enjoy.

Here's a few of my bikes over the years. That white Sporty got me round London hundreds of times before it got trashed (along with me) in a t-bone.

I regret selling the blue Evo FXDL, looks probably aren't to everyone's taste but man what a blast to ride.

I moved away from Harleys in recent years and ride the 1200 Scrambler.

Bonus shot of me wearing my trusty N1 on the aforementioned Sporty. And yeah that's a bin bag on the seat… British weather.

Great collection. Although I’m a Harley guy, I really like the scrambler. I have to ride one once.

[Baba-san]

nice… I do like the FXDL... particularly the bars, and it does look like it will handle.

Here's a couple of pics of two of my stable of 7, The first is the 900 cafe racer on the left of the photo I built in 2017, the second is an 83 Tenere 600 I rebuilt and restored in 2019

[1981FXe]

Really nice, love that XT600.

@Dmart - I hear you.  I’m a Harley guy at heart but anything Evo or older has gotten so expensive and although I enjoyed the LRS while I had it, the new HD’s just don’t have the soul for me.

I’ll get another at some point, waiting to jump on an 84 FX if I see one come up for sale.

All good bike pics @1981FXe . Glad to hear you’ve settled for the Scrambler, looks top of the heap in my eyes!
I’ll wait for a pic of it being ridden by an IH-clad guy.
Welcome

Fully get it. I prefer the old one as well, love to get a 83 shovel.

@1981FXe the T120 looks lovely! since there's a few triumphs, here's mine.

@louisbosco Sweet picture!!!!

[louisbosco]

@goosehd cheers mate. the guy who took it did a brilliant job on that ride.

@louisbosco

Beast of a bike, great shot!

I used to have the model before with the circular headlights, same colour as yours.

Loved it. Sadly so did the motorcycle thieves of London…

[louisbosco]

@1981FXe damn that sucks!

those older bikes are such a gem now. those exhausts on older euro3 and before have so much soul..

Been working on restoring this 1971 CL350 that's been in the family since new 

[motojobobo]

Beauty of a bike @ChaseD ! Well worth the restoring effort.

Fun 50 mile ride today. Did a few small upgrades to the Triumph. New seat, mirrors and badges. My buddies new GSX-S is really nice too! Nothing like AZ in February
