I is riding the old faithful FZR600. She looks like this, though within the week I'm hoping to have her completed...

Touch wood, she's still running well and starts, stops and corners with reasonable aplomb so I'm hoping to squeeze one, maybe two more seasons out of the old girl before putting her out to grass. Then I'm hoping for a Thunderace, or mebbe a VMax if I can find a full power one (most UK ones were screwed down to 90bhp for some odd reason). I've had Harleys and like the look, but hate the price, lack of reliability, iffy finish and milk float performance - for me the VMax looks butch, but addresses many of the HD failings. Indeed, many of the jap factory custards, cruisers and drag style machines seem to be much more convincing these days.
Here's the transport for when it rains, which is most of the summer in the UK. 2.7 V6 turdo diesel, now with a new boot spoiler which isn't in t'picture...

Very nice! What kinda "cage" (car) is that? I kinda felt bad not having a running FZR to throw a pic up.. I have 18 months before the FZR needs to be back on the road for my now 15-year-old..

It's a Peugeot 407 2.7 HDi in SE Lux trim. I could be wrong, but don't think Peugeot has been on sale in the US for 2 decades or so. Shame, cos it's an interesting alternative to the usual Ford or Vauxhall yawnmobile for us in Blighty.

Depending how much longer it takes for me to get the FZR going the way I want, I'll either be on that or this:
06 Kawi Z750s(It's behind the headers in the pic)
My FZR...

I know. The problem is I don't notice it when I'm riding, so it doesn't bother me. I also would want to lose my title here of "most stock bike."
