One of my friends has around 8 bikes but most of them are track/road racing bikes, he even has a Duc :mrgreen:
All the others that have bikes just have two or three now for off road use only....I think :shock:

Mine are oldies/classics. They get used for touring abroad and some vintage runs so they definitely don't move like the ones in this
video clip !!

One of the lads had a really old classic (don't know if he still has it now though as I haven't seen him in a while). I think it was the gears were on the other side - rear brake was on the left & not the right side. Can't remember the name of it but I had around a 3 - 5 mile spin on it myself without a hat on :mrgreen:

Most of the British bikes (pre '70s) are like that - BSA, Triumphs, Nortons etc. From about the mid 70's onwards, Triumph changed to the regular
pattern.

Ah yeah, I think it was one of those Triumph's, had the main clocks looking a little strange as well :mrgreen:
Had a great spin on it though !

Those guys are Darwin award contenders - that riding is disgraceful and its only a matter of time before the guy on the bike with the camera is a greasy smear under a truck. The majority of those overtakes have no margin for error - the undertakes only need the lead bike to scare the car driver into an evasive move which puts it into the following bikes line.

I have one of these

I totally agree about most of the overtakes, some really crazy driving by that pilot and others !
All of my biker friends just track/road race bikes now.

(edit) But I have to state here that if you drive at those speeds with guys you know then they are not just looking forward - they know your there wherever you are & what your going to do next :mrgreen:
