What keeps bringing you back?

[Buzz]

I've owned loads of bikes, and ridden even more over the years. I always say 'never own the same bike twice', that's unless its exceptional.

I've owned supebikes, sport tourers, commuters, and tourers. Few of them can do everything apart from the little Fazer, and I'm now on my third! It really is the best at being the jack of all trades. Even new bikes fail at doing what this 15 year old design, parts bin basket case, budget do it all machine does!

As they say its the only bike you'll ever need, not necessarily the only bike you'll ever want.

It's posts like this that make me feel very happy that I bought one as my first bike.  I've only done about 2000 miles since May but the young lady's given me an awesome introduction to biking.  My 2 biker mates with a Fireblade/CB1300 laughed and said "you went through your bike test to get THAT?!?!?".  For just over a grand, cheap parts and all maintenance done by me I'm not complaining, I just laugh when they get a £400 bill for servicing.
