Ha ha! Nice scenery btw. If you had a forever bike, you’d have it. But I can see your point, you’ve never been lumbered with an MZ - yet! I can always change my will. 😂👍
Life’s to short Rob, too many sweets in the sweet shop to try , to just keep ha oh my god the same old sweet 😁 I’m the same as you, no bike in my garage is safe .......👍🏼
I used to think my Moto Guzzi V7 was a "forever bike", but it showed me they don't exist... it was a long term bike for sure... owned it over 11 years.
@@HippoDrones Eleven years is a bloody good innings though Pete. And at least when you went your separate ways it didn't cost you half of your home and pension 😉
@@CampbellZeroOne I'll probably be doing more Drag n Dive events in my Merc's than Track Days or big week long bike rides in the foreseeable future. Doesn't mean I'll stop riding just different priorities.
@@CampbellZeroOne Your funny but my brother went for a 900 Kilometre 2day ride last week on his most recent purchase a '21 1290 SDR GT on say 1/2 the roads I've never seen.
Hmm… I wish I’d have kept some of mine! However I think we change bikes based on circumstance and requirements at the time. I bought the VFR as a nostalgic and project type purchase and don’t see that going anywhere soon, although everything is for sale at the right price!? You always go in to it with your head (sometimes) but mostly your heart but as you know, bikes are about passion, involvement and how they make you feel and ticking the box at the time… it’s a tough one. Just ridden the new ZX6R and I’m in love with it but really don’t think I could own it for a duration and it’s quite similar in performance to the 765 but provides a different experience. Forever bike? Dunno… but as you say, once you have been fortunate enough to tick the box of having what you want, something invariably comes along and has a different box that needs ticking. It’s a Great position to be in for Us to be able to change them based on circumstances as many are not. Gotta love em’!
@@twistandgo3414 Aye. That's the good thing about bikes. There are so many different categories and budgets to choose from, that you can usually home in on something that suits your needs and tickles the old cockles at any particular time in life.

@@CodgerBiker In your case, the MZ chose it's 'forever human'! 😉
@@CampbellZeroOne 👍😂

@@wilswood8137 Yeah mate. Some days I could murder a Mars bar. But on others, I'm more in the mood for a Bounty. A selection pack is the way to go! 😉

@@CampbellZeroOne 😀true.... although customising the bike cost me more than buying a second V7 new! 😀
@@HippoDrones Ah! The honeymoon period, when you lavish her with gifts... 😂
@@CampbellZeroOne Haha... I think it was at around the 5 year point I customised it
100% Yes, If I ever sell the Aprilia I won't be riding anymore.
@@DukeOfTwist Admittedly that's a great (possible future classic) But again, I'd still sell it for newer and shinier... 😂

@@DukeOfTwist I get it. I mean, it must be a bit boring riding the same old roads in your tiny country 😉😂

@@DukeOfTwist Good bike for it.
Been watching loads of vids of Aussies on adventure bikes lately. You're spoiled for it over there.
