An inroduction ha? Like an AA meeting? “Hi, my names Dave, and I have a motorbike probem” good enough?
I live near Gatwick and comute up to Hammersmith everyday so do around 25/30k a year on the bikes. I work as a Building Surveyor kicking around town most days on one my hacks. They are a Transalp, Aprilia Capnord and Ninja.
The Transalp is just the best hack in the world, cheap to buy and run and really stands up to neglect well. I did 40k miles on my last one and nothing ever went wrong, so I bought a brand new one last September.
The Ninja was a late night purchase from the pub carpark, a time and place not noted for wise purchases!
The Caponord was an impulse Ebay purchase. I really wanted to buy one new (they are/were so damn cheap) but I just knew being Italian it will break down alot, so bought the 'Alp.After a few years they are even cheaper,saw this one, before I knew it I had the “Congratulations, you’ve won this item” message across my screen.I love it though, the best bit being is hardley any one else has one, so I’d love to hear from any fellow owners.
Hopefully these are pix of the hacks…
