Rock Tykes and Their Bikes

Marcus's Yamaha

Picture right sees Marcus Ward of Mr Chief and Metalworks with his 1700cc...yes that's 1.7 litre Yamaha MT01. The picture is from a news page item.

Wolfie's Brutale

Dave "Wolfie" Smith of Gunlaw likes his MV Agusta Brutale. Quite exclusive is this bike, Wolfie rides this 900 and a Honda NSR 250 in between playing a Les Paul with the popular Leeds band.

Aitch's Fat Boy

Riff Raff bassist "Aitch" Lockwood seen outside The Lion with his Harley. This bike is worth a mint with all the extras but Aitch uses it in all weathers. It's a beautiful "Heritage" model. (We'll try to get a better picture of this)

Steve's Kawasaki VN1500

Landlord of the Thornhill Arms Steve Saville is a bit over exposed in this picture as he sits proudly on his VN  cruiser. I think we could do with a better picture of this bike as well!

Rik's Kawasaki ZX6R

Twist of Fate guitarist  Rik Mason is a regular on the rally scene and 2009 saw the band debut at the East Leeds Lions Rally. The guitar is a Jackson. The ZX6R is a sprightly thing too!

 

Dave's XJR 1300

Dave of Resurgence is seen here on his Yamaha XJR 1300. It's the SP model with Ohlins suspension and looks to be in superb condition. When not fettling his Yamaha he likes rebuilding classic Opels and playing his Gretch.

Helen on Dave's XJR

Helen of Resurgence is the regular pillion passenger on this XJR belonging to husband Dave. Big on the rally scene the couple are typical of the rocking biker breed. When not  riding on this bike Helen plays her Fender bass and models a nice line in fishnet tights!

 

Martyn and Stevie at Squires

Phoenix Rising's pairing  Martyn and Stevie are shown at Squires Cafe Bar with their velocipedes. Stevie rides the Piaggio due to his leg injury and he loves the freedom of two wheels. Martyn's seen here with his Suzuki, but he also has an Eddie Lawson Kawasaki as well.
