So i hope you enjoy

First up the RC30, owned for a few years now, cracking bike and very lucky to have owned one. Sadly and in much disgust to the purists - i actually use mine, and in all weathers too. never been one to shy away from a bit of rain (or salt and snow that i had ridden in before taking this pic) She does scrub up well though.

Here is a pic of one of my old jap spec NC30's next to the RC30 which makes a nice side by side comparison shot. See they are not even close.

Here is my fav bike to ride. not the fastest and certainly the most expensive to maintain and cherish, but by far offers the more rewarding ride, and is in my opinion what bikings all about = fun. Sure its costly, and not everyones idea of a great bike, but it certainly offers character unlike my 600 RR5. Pictured with bp seat and pillion peg mode. normally in solo seat and full naughty open pipe mode. spec is early strada, p16 ecu and loom mod, bp subframe and looms, later Tin forks (maxton reworked) and ohlins rear from 748R. 50mm Ti cans & carbon cans too. Engine std.


Little RD125LC Mk3, not a normal Mk2 restricted to 12bhp, this fire breathing monster makes a whopping 19bhp with its working servo. Note the Mk3 had gold wheels and different pipe to the std Mk2

Rare YSR80 gag bike, bought as a rusted nail, restored using new OE parts, and a freshly powdercoated frame and parts to OE colour. Used for 2 summers day rides, wow factor worn off (after realising you look at tit at 15 stone flat out at 65 mph looking like you are shitting a wheel as the rest of the bike disapeared up your arse) now dumped in the living room fitted with new old stock tank (still sealed and dry) and makes interesting coversation peice / ornamant.

As for the CBR, not really got any pics of it, but if this sort of thing grooves you here it is after a week old having its dreadfull oe dunlop 218's swopped for Pilot powers after nearly trying to pitch me off at 6000 rpm in the dry in summer, while running it in. now bear in mind this is from a bike with NO torque or grunt, infact you would have more grip from bare rims. dunlop = shit.

Here is my old mans restored 1968 350 desmo. Not much to say about this, simply stunning if this kind of thing floats your boat. The wow factor is the originality. rims, tyres, hand pump, CEV electrics and lenses all original inc many bolts. not many like this for sure and worth a couple of quid too. a nice before and after 2002 - 2007

That is a garage to envy! That little spin on your RC30 was great, I will own one sooner or later.

Nice 916 - have a 996 myself and you hit the nail on the head with reason for riding the big red machine, oh and the noise too ;)

Prefer the mk3 lc though, had 3 mk2's myself and the first (and my fave) was the same colour as yours including bikini fairing (removed) but she had black / silver wheels.
