If you could...............
« on: September 21, 2008, 05:18:17 pm »
If you could only have just ONE bike, what would it be and why, including "werks" bikes or even a bike you have thought about making.

The horrible thought of this is, go out to the shed and have a look at all those bikes and decide which one is it, the one that rocks your boat enough to say   "if I could only ever have just the one bike it would be this one"

Good luck guys   ;)  ;D

I originally started this post with the words "Making a short list is easy", but as I started making that list, I realised that even culling down to three or five was hard...

I guess that if I was stuck with just one bike, it'd probably be a twin shock Husky WR400 - acceptable VMXer, and still a pretty good road-registerable enduro/trail-bike. Maybe an 84 KTM would do the job too. Or a complianced YZ250L like Brett Smith used to have.

But then again, there are a few bikes in my shed that I'd have a VERY difficult time parting with - the 94 TM125, the YZ125A, the YZ125X, the YZ250G, the DT250A that I've owned for more than half my life, etc... In reality, if it came down to it, my one bike would probably be one of those five.

I have thought about it, and out of the 39 bikes in the shed, I have thought of a few that I could probably part with if I realy had too. However, like a mother with her children, I just can't pick one bike and say to the others "Bye, I dont' love you any more". If it come to making the ultimate sacrifice to save a my bikes I would ask God (if I belived in him/her) to take me and leave my bike altogether in the shed.

Why do things the easy way, when with a bit of effort you can really make it difficult for yourself!!

I'm fickle, I change from week to week. At the moment I'm 'locked in' to finishing the Monty VB360. Effectively I have put all other bikes 'out of contention' at the moment.

It shouldn't be too much longer before I'll have something looking like....

I'm a man of simple tastes and I'm happy with what I've already got. I'd be happy however, to add this sweet Cheney B50 to the collection.

I already have  it My Honda 754 Vmx Sidecar, I built it !!! can change it whenever I feel the urge (Finances do play a part here I confess...) and hey it still is uniquely mine.  Maybe just maybe I could exchange it for a Hagon Alloy frame VMX sidecar or any supercharged Vincent HRD speedway sidecar.... Nope ! cancel those thoughts! what would I have to tinker with on those masterpieces??? Cheers Tim754
