Only the Storm for now. Would like something on the side more comfortable for touring/long distances, something for fun like supermotard and an old 2-stroke for that delicious smell and sound :cool2

Two. 2003 Honda SuperHawk; 1991 Harley-Davidson FLSTC. I used to have more. These two are plenty, now.

Currently five bikes in my garage, although only three are mine.

There's my VTR, not quite standard but not highly modified.
Next is my FJ1200, a little more modified.
And then my XJ600 pre-diversion, which is a whole lot modified! Currently in bits awaiting a cosmetic tidy up and cafe racer conversion. :D

Are there a couple of people on here that race an XJ600? There are a couple of thread that hint at Malc or popkat...
I have some parts left over from the cafe racer project that I could quite easily donate to a racer, to get them out of my garage! Mainly plastics, a top fairing with headlight and bracket, side panels, rear cowl.

If anyone wants them, let me know!

As I seem to have a thing for old XJ's I'll have what you got left over, very kind of you, cheers :thumbup:

I don't often get that way in the van as I'm way over west, although there is a possibility I'll be up at Christmas. I don't know if Mac has room in Franks den what with 6 Storms but if he has room and is agreeable and you need rid of the parts maybe they could be held in grain until I get up there ?

I too have a thing for the older XJ, it was one of the first bikes I remember my dad having and it was also my first big bike! Picked this one up as a non-runner about a decade ago, just needed a reg/rec.
A cafe racer has no need of a fairing, so all the plastics are just sitting in the garage and will not be used again by me.

I'll sort out the left over parts and get them over to Mac for you. :thumbup:

True, Grain is not far. I used to ride out towards Grain on the A228, until someone pointed out all of the accident blackspots along the road!
PM received, I'll drop you an email later when I've sorted out what parts I have left.

One running Storm and a bunch of bits.

If Al's allowed non-powered two-wheelers then I can add a GT Grade 105 carbon as my commuter; an MSC Koncept Catal XC race bike, not that I race XC; Cannodale Jekyll as the weekend play thing.
