Signature question
OK another question from the other side of the pond. Are the bikes in members signatures bikes that are currently owned? Or are they bikes that were previously owned?
I ask this because I often see up to 10 bikes in the signature and I think, do they have a heated barn with the bikes on battery tenders and a maid that dusts them off, maybe a bar in the corner for some pals to come over and debate what main jets Winsten Churchil would recommend for a KZ 550 track bike. Or are these bikes packed in a back yard with a blue tarp covering them with 20 year old leaves packed in between the airbox and cases.
This doesn't keep me up at night, but I am a ponderer and this is something I ponder every time I see the list.
FYI, here is my list of owned previously.
Vision 550 (crashed)
900 Ninja
CB 750
GPZ 1100
KZ550 (crashed)
GPZ 750 (crashed)
FJ 1100 (crashed)
KX125
KZ1000 (shaft drive, embarrassed of this one)
FZR 1000
FZR 1000
KLR 650
R1 (crashed and burned to a crisp)
GSXR 1000

Super Duke 990 (?)
KLR 650 (gave to my mechanic)
Z1000 (still own)
KLX 250 (gave to my best man as a best man gift)
Katana 1000 (still own)
and in a few days a doner Bandit 1200 for the Katana to eat

Re: Signature question
Mostly current bikes owned. Although some of these bikes are a frame with V5 (log book)
Barns and a heated maid? More likely a collection of sheds for the married ones or for the no longer married, the bikes are in the house
Technically I own 3 Katanas. Only one is road legal and the other 2 although having a specific identity, could be configured in a variety of ways!

Re: Signature question
Great, thanks, that gives me a better picture. That also answers another question I was too scared to ask. I thought a V5 was an engine. I even googled it with Suzuki, then Kawasaki and on and on.Kryten wrote: ↑Mon Dec 28, 2020 7:09 pmMostly current bikes owned. Although some of these bikes are a frame with V5 (log book)
