You don't actually NEED an Italian V-Twin, or a greyhound...but they do make life seem better

My only sports bike. Well, it was considered as one in its day - some 32 years ago! It was a real pleasure to ride and coped well with a number of track days.

She's been all over Europe with and without camping gear and has over 70k on the clock and has never ever let me down,. It has a few simple mods to enable me to ride it all day (although these days they are a bit shorter...) Helli Bars (raised clip-ons), a link to lower the pegs a bit, Ohlins shock and 17" front wheel for better tyre choice.

I think it may be called a "keeper".
