Was good to get out on the bikes this weekend. Even if it was just local to the awesome Quickshifter Coffee/Garage Six. Oh, and we may have delimited the Royal Enfield Meteor too 😁😉 #MotoSky #Biker #Motorcycle

Good morning #MotoSky! Whatever you are planning for your Sunday, I hope it’s as amazing as you deserve. This sums up nicely how I feel about gyms. #Motorcycle #Biker

It was VERY rare for teams to wear sponsor gear in the 1960s. This is the Honda team at the '66 TT on Douglas prom. Riders: Redman, Hailwood, Graham, Taveri, Bryans. Chief engineer Michihiko Aika between Taveri/Bryans

I can live with that! Properly smitten with the ‘bike. By the time I get my cash together there may be another update. May have to go for a test ride one day soon.

Good morning #MotoSky! I hope your day is as cool as James, here, always seen loitering in my local motorcycle repair shop reception. Not normally my bag, but a pretty retro thing isn’t it? #motorcycle #motorbike #biker

Exactly how I look at the V100 S. It’s going to take a little more saving but it will be in my garage. Only negative I’ve heard is the quick shift isn’t smooth in lower gears? I can live with that!!

Excellent bit of road. Also fond memories of the Speed Hillclimb at Mamhead House.

That’s what I’ve decided. Will take some extra saving so I’ll have to wait a few months more.

It’s got to be the MG V100 Mandello S. Its got that certain something I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s in the same way Alfa Romeo has my heart. Will need some extra saving so purchase will be a few months yet. It’ll be worth it. Just look at it. 🥰 Its the one

My +1 will be on her RE Meteor, unless she’s bought the Indian Scout Bobber she’s lusting after.

That would be my preference of colour scheme for the MG. My Benelli TRK502 hasn’t missed a beat in 4 years/20k miles. Same parent company as Polestar, Volvo, Smart and Lotus. Only issue can be availability of parts.

Damned right. Tests the reactions and suspension compliance!! Went to France last year. Beautiful roads. Coming home was a shock.

Loved the ride (took one out) of a Tracer but was told that they don’t wear well if used all year round and look tired quickly?

As a passionate #Guzzisti my vote is clear. 😉 But all 4 are good to have fun with. My ranking would be: 1. Mandello 2.Tracer 3. F900XR 4. TRK702
