jimmy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Mate I am in agreement with you...I DO like triumphs...trust me on that...there would probably be a couple in my shed too...but more of the spitfire kind and of course the bonny Haha, I dont do cars, but if I had to have a Spitfire, and money no object, it would be the Supermarine version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Really love the look of the Fjr1300a, but also would have to have some sort of trike - I've got 2 boys who struggle to share at the mo! Given that money would be no object, I obviously wouldn't be working so I'd have to split my time between bikes and a 1972 Charger - and yes it would be in Sunburnt Orange with all the decals!

Noise Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Well if I said it was a C90 with a busa engine in it would that make things better? Ha ha. Also if I tipped up at the shop with a million pound bike then you would have every one wanting donations etc but on a C90 you won't have that drama. And I can't believe you was in the Royal engineer's made easy! Proper engineers to hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noise Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ha ha, it made me laught when i was reading through the Challenger 2 service manuel back in Bovvy, such petty things needed the help of the REME things on the lines of this: Fault: indicator light not working Fix: Call out REME Yep, def need to keep a low profile with regards to winning big with money, all my cars would be sleepers like a Nissan Micra dropped onto a Sierra Cosworth turbo chasy but keeping it looking like a Micra etc. best thing in the world keeping up with high ends cars in a clapped out banger. Same goes with bikes, love to have a dirty rat of a bike that will keep up / kick the ass out of top sports bikes. Plus more people tend to look more at rat bikes than the crystal clean bikes that have just rolled out the show room. for example which would you have?

Remelad Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Well we do know that everyday cannon fodder can change a lightbulb ...but remember that its the REME who turn up to fix ALL problems with ur vehicles...feom challengers to scammels...to military bikes. I had an old box standard golf driver...with a tricked out gti engine...went like the brown stuff off a diggy thing. I do see what u mean tho mate...tho I do like the top one too hehehhe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Mad max are cult classics bro...think my fav is madmax 2 tho...that bike would definitely look right at home in them Oh, I know - I have all of them. But even though the bike itself is a piece of shit with near-suicidal handling and blatantly fake armaments, the film it's from is very special to me. Hence spending the hypothetical fortune to acquire one rather than a more practical ride. It's one that'd just sit in my 'bike museum', being drooled over!! Rumour has it these bikes were knocked together one afternoon by a group of HAs down the road from the Cali film studio... and were so dangerous to ride that only the stuntmen were allowed!

Don't worry - Everything you need to know is in my profile Heavy, unstable and pretty scary even to watch. A friend of mine is one of the two actors who 'rode' it in the film.
