Good afternoon all. Thanks for letting me join in :)

I have been riding since June 1980 (my 16th birthday!) and apart from the very sad lack of bike for 7 years when I bought my first house, I've stuck with it ever since.

Coming back to riding in 1995 I bought a new new (223 mile old) 900 Sprint, which I loved. Used it for our wedding in 1997 and eventually sold it to my best man in about 2014.

Bought a new Daytona 1200SE in 1998, only selling it last year, a new Tiger 1200 in 2013 which is still going strong and a 2015 Trophy earlier this year. These are the two bikes a ride now although, truth be told, the Trophy seems to be getting used most. Must be getting old!

Both from earlier this evening:

It’s the completely non standard colours that might have thrown you out there - the “Sprint” is a very non standard Trophy!

These photos aren’t the best, but they are the only ones that I have with me at work at the minute
Please look past the badge missing on the left side, I was in the midst of doing some work on it.

The colour scheme on the Tiger is a but unusual too; I really enjoy playing around with the colour schemes on my bikes The “Tiger” is airbrushed on

Thanks for the comments everyone and thanks for noticing that it’s a Candy Shanered6

I do like colouring my bikes in!

Heres the Daytona that I sold last year, all done by hand by the chap that works at Hinckley and does all the hand coach lining for a living:
