Well there are three bikes so I was thinking of selling them off once they are all running and MOT'd, buying just one bike and a Disco. Reading that back it sounds greedy lol

I can thoroughly recommend a Triumph Tiger 800, although the 1200 Explorer is just a nice.

The Tiger is on the "Wouldn't mind one of those" list I have to admit. I had a V-Strom 650 but it felt like it was trying to kill me all of the time. Wifey struggled to get on pinion as well. Too high for her stumoy little legs.

Hmm, not sure the Tiger would be any better for the Mrs in that case.

Not greedy, just a good alternative to smoking and drinking.
I could wait no longer and I've accidentally bought a bike this evening, just need to sort a day off this week to go fetch

Nothing that would interest an IOM resident
Honda crm250. Had two in the past and really like them. I can now explore all the byways in the Peak District that my Discovery wouldn't fit down.
Not bothered about sports bikes, tried a few but not my cuppa. I Like the cafe racer style of things but my garage is no place for something nice and shiny at the minute. Trail bikes are my favourite
