Well the canoes have gone but i have just added a msx125 (honda grom) to the garage... Completely bonkers little bike fitted with serious winter tyres and where the Raptor make me grin this makes me giggle.

Wow, a real eclectic mix there and I reckon you’ve got all the bases covered.

A modern Audi V8… nice, a nearly modern Porsche flat 6… very nice, a 1960s Saab V4… very very nice and this looks to be a rare & interesting car. Wikipedia mentions it’s got a 1.5lL Ford V4 – half of one of their V8 perhaps?

And the Countryman is just, well… class. They don’t chrome cars like that anymore.

In addition to the bikes I also have an Audi A2 – 175K and still showing no signs of age.

A man of obvious taste & it seems we’ve trod the same path to the Rappy – perhaps it’s just a modern well put together Darmah.

I see you changed the wheels, gawd wasn’t the rear cush drive ‘kin awful. And also see you’ve ditched the air filters and have a different headlight mount. I’ve pretty much left mine untouched for too many years than I’d like to mention and the first thing I’ll need to do is get the old valve seats replaced to cope with modern fuel.

And for all you youngster out there these old bevel drive Dukes probably made the best noise you’ve ever heard a motorcycle make. And I say that whilst adjusting me cap and pointing out the SS motor with 40mm accelerator pump dellortos & straight through Contis with the end of me pipe. At idle, pushing hard in the mid-range or at full chat they sound just superb. I recall once biffing up the motorway with a couple of others and they reckoned they could hear me when I was behind them. Ah glory days…

Mine also has the 40mm DellOrto's with the pumps removed, Imola race cams, so is almost an SS with electric start.

I used to love the fact that it was even louder on overrun, and if being followed the blue flames were startling.

The only other toy in the garage is a GSXR1000 K5, http://www.raptorchapter.org.uk/viewtop ... =20&t=4695

But I also have an ancient '96 Honda Prelude V-tec which I bought a couple of years ago as a winter driver with a view to using it as a trackday car at some point, because I didn't want to use my "then other car" but liked it so much I sold the other one and now just use this, its a genuine 61,000k with FSH, last owner was would you believe !!!

A little old lady who owned it for 13-14 years its a bit rough around the edges, where she bumped into things a bit, but it goes like stink and surprises many newer cars, its raw and noisy with pretty firm suspension, but I love it and will never sell it.

I have got a 1998 Scorpa 250 easy in the shed https://tikka.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/T ... /i-2PhQgJn
Just as rare as a cagiva, a real pain to find spare parts :(
Great tool for trial though.
