Great post. Used to ride an muck abound bikes when I was a young lad had all manner of field bikes some stolen off some poor sods that I’m not proud of I never stole them my self but they’d come our way via deals or cheapness so we’d buy them to frash about then once they were dead  bin them. Had a road legal bikes couple of 50cc mopeds a Ar 50 an a dt50mx then had a good few 125s I’ve had a mk1 rd 125 a couple of tzr 125s a dtr125 the dt125 was my favourite for a 125 she was a flying machine with her power valve pegged open on an off road think that’s why I liked it so much because you could go anywhere she’d go off the clock. Ive not got a full license for bikes the big bikes don’t really interest me as much as the small 2strokes so never did my full bike license I just used to do a cbt but been thinking the last 6month of treating my self to a motorcross bike at some point been thinking of a yz125 an endurance road legalise it for some green land use an just fun use.

Always liked the xjr 

there’s a lovely blue and white xjr 1300 on a 56 plate in a bike shop down the road from me, it a lot of bike for a little under 3k

Here is my last bike ( and l keep fighting the urge for another one ).

I just kept it legal and running ,never bothered with cosmetics .

It wasn't  until l looked at the photos  later that l noticed one  Grandchild was doing a good and completly unprompted Steve McQueen impression and the other a Brando!

I just like a sit up bike now, I can’t be doing with laying across a fuel tank anymore, the mind is willing but the body is weak 

my brother has one of them big BMW GS’s and it’s probably the heaviest bikes I’ve ever ridden but it’s lovely to ride

The brother in law has an immaculate blue and white xjr, he went to trade it in a few years ago but what they offered he decided to keep it and buy straight, dont think he really wanted to sell it but had to go through the motions to keep the wife happy. Lol.

i was given this bike a while ago, it wasn't running to good it had been sitting in their garage for years, the lady said it had something go on with the throttle, so i stripped the carb and cleaned that up, but the problem i found was the fuel pipe was collapsing from the suction of the carb when it was running, there was enough pipe which i cut that soft section out, now it runs quite nice, i was toying with turning into a bobber....

Just don't let him point it at a fence. Bantams are for delivering telelgrams, not escaping from prison camps.

Ah it's  actually a C11, but probably no faster than a bantam to be honest.

An interesting fact,  well a fact anyway  is that  Steve McQueen really did own one ; in British Racing Green.
