It's that time of year when I put most of the bikes in their heated, de-humidified winter residence.
Not been much of a biking year unfortunately.
Had bikes since the 80's, mostly sports bikes and I've always found them a great escape from stress, apart from when I hit a herd of cows in France on my R1 back in 2003.

Love bikes myself, bern riding since I was 8.
Have had a few sports bikes ( Ducati, Buell ) but have to admit I don’t really enjoy bitumen riding that much anymore, mainly due to other road users & speed limits.
Most of my riding now tends to be long distance outback / desert rides, sticking to gravel & dirt roads in remote areas.

That looks so much fun!
Same here, roads are busy 7 days a week.
Over the yrs, I seem to be visiting various mates in Wales, more and more.
I bought a late original Africa Twin a few yrs ago, to tame the progress.
Great riding position, but lack of power is pushing me towards one like you've pictured.
Is it one of those with the auto box?

would love an original Africa Twin, unfortunately not many were ever imported here & they are worth quite a few $$$ now.
No, that AT is the base model with manual transmission ( but a custom 30 litre rear tank for extra range )
