You're right on the RGB 500 Gamma.

 

This is why I love hanging out here, my wife will never concede I'm right on anything.

 

Lots of research went into this.... a special delicacy has been added for the 'older' riders.

 

Thanks Baron, I love your research skills. Quite liking your number 4 choice, but I think number 5 may have taken the "stately older gentleman" a wee bit beyond where he perceives himself.

But maybe that's reality? We often don't see ourselves as others do.

Could do without the dishmop feckin dog thou just as an aside.

 

I'd like to order a number two, please and can I get her friend on the side?

 

mmmmmmmmm, staying on the bike theme still takes some time. There are the classics like the Norton commander to past memories GPZ900RR so for now and subject to change here are my top 5 in no order

Ducati panigale
Norton commander
Honda CBR1000F
ZZR1400
RD350LC

 

I've just realized I don't have an R1 Yam anywhere on my list, but I'm not prepared to concede on anything at this point (the Schiffer/RG500 is still an each way bet)

And I've also realized that because of the area I live in I could probably do with an adventure bike to explore some of the old gold mining towns and trails. But maybe a Supermotard could fulfill that function?

I've come to the conclusion that five isn't enough.

 

Top 5 cars. Understand that most anything I find cool or desirable was made before I was ten years old

!. Ferrari GT250 SWB
2. 1967 Corvette Stringray 427
3. Ford Mustang GT350H (H being the designation for Hertz Rental Cars. Like the one James Garner drove in the movie Grand Prix)
4. JPS Lotus Europa
5. Alfa Romeo GTV 1750

Five just does not begin to cover this list

 

Totally agree with your number ! choice, and also the fact that 5 isn't enough.

You'd have to be Nick Mason to truly collect the set.

 

Women to get washed up on a desert island with:

1) Deborah Harry (no power, no iPod, someone has to provide the music)

2) Kirstie Allsopp (practical hut building type skills, also excellent at making cushions)

3) Nigella Lawson (we are going to get hungry at some point)

4) Rachael Ray (it would be unfair to expect Nigella to do all the cooking)

5) Valarie Bertinelli (good music, good food and a nice secure hut with lovely cushions, there's only one other thing I can think of)
