Your bike photos past and now

[otherwise]

I suggest this thread for photos of bikes that you have owned.
Only one photo of each bike and it must be your bike not one the same.
Sure most of us have had more bikes than live in our hard drive but if it isn't your bike the thread will become unmanageable.
Also it would be good if adding new found photos edit them in rather than starting new post that way your stuff is kept as a collection for us to see at a glance.

I'll put mine on in a little time and do my best to get them in order of when I had them.


EDIT,

I started and am now thinking this is going to take a long time, it may not be such a great idea.
If others take it on I promise to add mine (I found about 26) if the thread dies that's OK.
What do ya think?

Okay Kevin. This will have to do for now.....

I cannot even remember the year model on this Suzuki Savage 650.

I always thought I wanted a cruiser but found the forward controls too difficult for my lower back.... '99 Suzuki Intruder 1500

'03 Kawasaki Concours (before)

(after)

Replaced the Concours with another Concours '99 Kawasaki Concours

Onward and upward '04 Yamaha FJR1300

Sideways diversion '07 Yamaha TW200

Traded the TW200 for a Piaggio X9-500 (thought my wife would ride it...)

Sold the FJR to a friend and found the Piaggio too boring...... so '01 Triumph Bonneville

My current love... '06 Triumph Tiger 955i

 

[donroger1]

Found a problem Kevin.....

No more than 10 images per post.

Here is the side shot of the Bonneville that I had to cut for the post.......

Cool.
That Kawasaki Concours (after) shot makes you take a second look.

Dave may be able to marry additional photos into the one post? He deoesn't have any thing else to do.

OK, I started a bit before but my photos start from 1969.

TR6R 1969



CB 750 1970



CB 450 about 1970 (can't remember the exact year)



WLA 750 WW2 vintage with Murphy chair

According to Don we can only put 10 photos up at a time so watch this space (or don't).

 

[DaveM]

Kevin this is a COOL idea and I will check out the amount of images allowed per post. I won't have an issue with this as I only have two photos of my bikes

As far as editing it later you are only allowed a certain period where you can edit a post.

Great idea, Kevin, and really cool photos. I wish I had photos of my bike history.

1974- ish Yamaha XS650


1982 Honda CB900 and quite delightful Honda nylon jacket.

1982 Ducati 900SS.


1982 Ducati Pantah 600.


1984 Bakker Yamaha (FJ1100) F1 bike- I only rode it twice.

Great shots Dave.
I really like those XS650 Yamahas.
It's easy to see when we got our first digital camera.

 

[R.Hawks]

'67' TR6R in 2001
'67' TR6R in 1981
'67' TR6R in 1982

That TR6R sure has had an interesting life. I like it best in its 2001 clothes.

Yes 2001 was one of the best looks. I bought the bike in 1976 and sold it in 2005.
It went through many changes over the years. I have more photos somewhere, just have to find them.

 

[DaveB]

I found more .

A better pic of the 900SS.


On the Katana 1100 at the Krugersdorp Hillclimb in 1984. I did the same event the next year on the 600 Pantah- the only motorsport events I've ever taken part in.


Sheer sartorial elegance- on my brand new GSXR-750 in '86.


2007, just after I'd bought the Sprint ST.
