Here's my Biking history. Some I love and miss dearly, and some I wish I'd never spent my hard earned cash on!
My first bike, and she was a love!

Traded her in for this, my Italian affair. A love/hate relationship.

After putting many, many miles on her, I wanted a Fazer thou, but then they were mega bucks! I managed to do a deal on an R1 which was a bit tatty, but it was a love that lasted 7 years! Here she is just after I took off all the shoddy plastic.

I then realised I needed a 'work bike' as I was working on Blackpool prom. (sea salt on that alloy!!!!)
This little GS I rebuilt was a right laugh!

The GS moved on and I bought this. Couldn't get on with it.

I found some guy who wanted a v-twin, as he had a bike that he didn't like, and it was a bike I wanted again.

By the time the 7 year R1 affair was up, she looked like this. Oh how I miss her so.
Broke my heart when I sold her.

The red Fazer, and the R1 were sold because of a lot of this

and me feeling that I needed to grow up as I hit 40
![groan! :groan](https://foc-u.co.uk/Smileys/efocicon/groan.gif)
. I bought this.

A superb bike, awesome engine! It just wasn't for me, and I only kept it for 4 months. I was after a Fazer thou Gen 1 to replace it, until an offer I really couldn't refuse came along, which was this.......

I absolutely love it! Let the modding begin!!!
I also have this as my work 'donkey'. It's my sons Fazer, but I'm using it whilst he's away in the Army.

Well that's my biking history, and may there be many more to come. Like this one..... (in your dreams!)
