Hairy's bikers bikes

Q: What was the first bike you bought?

Si: An Yamaha XS 650 US Custom; it was slightly customized, had a hard tail and was brush painted black. I absolutely loved it.

Dave: The first bike I bought was when I went to Art School. I bought a Cossack Ural Mars MK 3, a Russian wartime motorbike and sidecar. It was a 650cc bike Cost £350

Dave had a Heritage Springer Softail and I rode a Springer Softail with 6 inch risers and ten inch apes, a bit of a chopper vibe.

Si: in India we hired two Royal Enfield Bullets in Goa and set off over the western Ghat mountains towards Hampi.

Dave: The variety of bikes we have are determined more by chance and circumstance rather than design. The big BMW's are great all round tools and can cope with anything. The Triumphs are full of character and you get to fall in love with them but they're not as well built as the BMWs. In Vietnam we were on Russian 125 Minsks, little two stroke trials bikes; we had to have small bikes because of the Vietnamese laws. The little bikes were such a laugh and very reliable. In Mexico I was on a Harley Davidson Road King. It could be a bit of a tart's handbag in the UK, but in Mexico with the colours and the sunshine it was wonderful; all your childhood biking dreams rolled into one.

Q: What are you riding at the moment?

Si: I own a Aprilia Caponord. I haven't owned an Italian bike before and I love it

Dave: At the moment I have four bikes.

I have a BMWR1200 GS a great workhorse to get around the world

I have a Bennelli Tornado, possibly the sexiest bike on the planet. An Italian triple that goes like stink,

I have a Aprilla Falco, a great 1000 cc twin sports tourer, big grin-factor bike

Lastly I have Hesketh V1000. A dream bike
