...And to think most of this bikes are costlier than camry muscle. The riders are careless and usually end up in accidents.

I see some expensive equipment there for sure , that BMW s1000 is well over £13000 same for the KTM rc8 not up to date on grand tourer prices but they are sometimes into £20000

Thought I was going to see some limited edition Ducati motorbikes or something - oh well, nice concept, I admire their movement grin We all have to stand for something, why not a bikers clan or whatever it is they call themselves grin

I was hoping I'd see one of the big boys on a ducati 1199 pinagelle supeeleggera , but many people globally ignore ducati in favour of the Japanese four pots or triumphs just because they are like the Ferrari of the bike world they cost a grip to maintain and are not very great daily rides, bring one to a track and now we are talking.

My Boss Harley Davidson bike no dey there if not that his V-Block turbo charged bike for be the star of the show..

Nice bikes.. would be landing mine soon enough. Just need to settle some family matters and get the 18 Thousand dollars required to land that Ducati in Nigeria.

I do hope that is not your first bike , would never advice a ducati other than a monster 600 for a first bike. You should get a Honda cbr600rr , R6 or gsxr600 if you are keen on a sportsbike class

Your faith will make you whole. Now open your eyes and see the light. This is a Honda Goldwing. Let me know when you see it.
We will make arrangement for your seatbelt later.

Seatbelt on a bike that nah spinal injury moment you lay the bike down. Lol

Maybe those canopy scooters Yamaha make they have a seat belt and side impact airbags. I think they have 250cc models. Lol

Nice bikes, I plan owning one soonest. I love those types with big front tyre and a small rear tyre. The type u see on bikers build off on discovery Channel, those types wrestlers and those Texas body builders love riding. Damn I'm sooo much in love with them. BTW does that blue truck belong to charley boy? It has his staff of office all over the ride. I mean the skull symbol

NO it doesnt belong to C. Boy!!!
It belongs to e renowned Nigeria based artist of international repute who has held exhibitions locally and internationally.
He has apparently retained his love of bikes and trucks.
I will ask his permission to post his pictures and profile here.

PS: He is a member of the HARDRIDAZ Motorcycle Club cool cool

I like your school of thought grin I have more vintage tastes when it comes to motorbikes... Would have loved to see something really out of the norm.

These were all 'real' hardcore bikers.
No disrespect to Mr Charles Oputa but these were no 'lifestyle' riders.
The Truck belongs to a much known and internationally famous biker from Port Harcourt.
He could have ridden down with the rest of his crew but he chose to truck his bike and thank God that he did.
The truck came in handy repeatedly

God's speed to the power bikers. Been there, done that. Rode a Ducatti for 12 years and gave it up after having too many close calls plus I lost two riding buddies within five days.
Whao!, that sound scary.

My first bike was a 600cc Kawasaki ZZR (2000 model)..

Horrible bike I tell you. I guess it was because the Punk who sold me that Lemon took advantage of my naivety and ignorance..

Now I am older and wiser and would be buying my bike brand new and straight from North America. I want a 750cc bike (minimum) that is so unique we shouldn't be more than 5 that should have it. Budget is 15'k for the bike.. The rest Na shipping and customs..

I don't mean to scare anyone but that power bike riding is a dangerous adventure even with wearing a helmet and other safety paraphernalia . Started riding in Chicago with many friends in my earlier 20s and with the good roads and traffic controls, it's very dangerous. My family never liked it and my wife sold my $16.000 Ducatti for little or nothing when I travelled to Nigeria. That's when I gave it up for good. Have seen so many unnecessary deaths and injuries. Anyway, good luck to the riders in Nigeria .

Then you're not a dedicated rider and it's good that you stopped.

You ride because you enjoy the freedom. It's funny how people will drive by a macabre car accident but won't think twice to keep driving.

But we riders are seen as risk taking fools.

I guess you are right about that in the sense that I wasn't a dedicated rider to end my life prematurely . I loved biking but I witnessed an accident that got my attention. My friend had a green light and a guy ran a red light and guess what happened ?. No form of protection for a bike rider at all. Glad to let it go. Imagine riders in Nigeria where there is no rules of road?. God help us all. Am not trying to discourage anyone, just putting in my own cents.

That should be roughly 2.8m. And am still saving for 4.6mil to get my dream highlander. Poverty is bad but I ain't poor.

Hope people here will learn from your experience, especially with our bad roads and nonchalant attitude to driving.
