Show us your Bike!

I had a GS1150 like yours Pedro but not for long, I called it 'the Barge'.  It was the worst bike I ever owned, I got shot of it after about 4 months.

It's in the background here.......

I still have the XR400, it has been taken apart, painted and put back together. Runs great and has had the suspension adjusted slightly for less bouncy riding. I hardly ever ride it though, but since it costs me hardly anything, looks great now, and will probably be the last bike to roam the earth once the zombies take over, I'll keep it unless I have nowhere to put it. Looking great on a scorching hot summer ride:

I had an R1150GS for two years before I got the 1200, loved it's handling and looks, even the lazy torquey engine. It had been imported from Hong Kong, probably had a billion miles, and although looking great was very troublesome. Here I am, proudly posing next to it about to board a Ferry to Morocco, feeling like Indiana Jones:

And here it is, still looking great about half an hour before breaking down in the middle of Morocco:

Broken down, waiting for a two truck for 6 hours, having a good time:

And this is what a sunset looks like, in the Atlas, when you're stranded by the side of the road:

I was led to believe the 1150 was the reliable one. Good looking bike, I much prefer that the the newer models. Never had one myself though.

No pink but there's still time. Another good looking bike. Same colour as my old TDM.

FFS What's with all the memes Mucho? Have you had a good look in the mirror lately? You passed puberty half a century ago. Just spit it out

Ren has communicated in smilies since the dawn of the Internet!

So I've upped the ante to memes!

I agree, old bikes looks lovely, and should in theory be a lot more reliable. I'm sure mine just had a rough life before I got it.
