When I was very young I wanted a 650 Triumph USA spec that was my dream motorcycle but never got to own one, the most reliable motorcycle that I have owned was a brand new CX500 I was living in London & it was ideal for getting about on, now I ride a CX500 Trike for health reasons
My questions are What's your dream motorcycle What was your most reliable motorcycle What is your ride at the moment
My earliest hard-ons for bikes were circa 1970 for either a Norton Commando or a Guzzi LeMans. Never owned either but the lust had begun! My current ZX14, my nth big Kwak is the most complete bike I ever owned. Big, bad, does everything, bulletproof. Just a pinnacle of engineering and competence. It's a love affair really.. not for everyone but suits me. Think on it like this and see if you identify? She
She’s out there now My long legged svelte bitch, my beauty Poised on tiptoes on the cold workshop floor Her slight provocative lean beckoning me Again!
Her sleek sensuous flanks belie the oily origins of her race Latest in the shameless string of my philandering Always ready to welcome my desires To awake my passion and let me straddle Her willing loins and bolster my conceit Of who I’d be.
Oh sure! I spoil her with trinkets Take her out, show her off, strut our stuff And revel in the envy of the pack. I don’t deny But the best of us is harder to share Our time alone, writhing together Along some forgotten road or favourite haunt Reaching for bliss! Each time I fall I swear she’ll be the last The best I ever had But I know my roving eye, the self delusion Of my faithless past…and keep it hidden. How easily my guilt’s assuaged When some new angel of destruction Lures me to go astray.
So, I choose to live in the moment They are all I have and I remember every one The dirty secrets and flagellations that constitute The best of marriages. And we’ll use each other till we use it up! And then move on, but we will have had the best Of each other…with luck!
My current dream motorcycle that might have me reaching to my bank account doesn't exist yet. But if Yamaha ever do make a 750 TMax I'll be there. Meanwhile I'm quite happy with my current stable.

Dream bike BSA DBD34 in clubman trim. Most reliable my Triumph thunderbird storm. Current rides Triumph T/bird , harley and a victory used alternately or dependant on what my jouney involves
My dream motorcycle used to be a VMax but now it would be something like a BSA gold star or maybe a vellocett ?. My most reliable bike was a GT750 kawa that took me everywhere, (loved that bike so much). Now I have a BMW r100rs that isn't reliable, a Moto Guzzi v75 running but not on the road, and a 4 year old triumph America which will probably end up being my most reliable bike ever
