Questions Put To Hammond by MCN on his bikes
What’s in the garage at the moment?
Quite a few right now. A 1927 Sunbeam Model 2, 1950 BMW R51 RS replica, 1959 Norton Dominator racer, new Norton Commando 961 SE, 1976 Honda Gold Wing, 1974 Kawasaki Z900, 1976 Yamaha FS-1E, Honda SS50, Kawasaki ZXR750H1, Suzuki GSX-R1100, Kawasaki KR1-S, Moto Guzzi Le Mans Mk1, Bimota YB9, Ducati 916 SPS Foggy rep, two BMW K1s, a Suzuki GS1000, BMW K100RS, R100RT, R90S, and my daily ride which is an R1200RT. I also have a Brough Superior SS100 being restored, and an SS80 period race replica on the way. Oh, and a Suzuki TL125 trials bike. I use all of them as much as I can. I don’t like to think of myself as a collector. I just love riding motorcycles; not on track but just to ride. I love it.
Are there others you would love to own?
Oh yes, of course! If I find a tenner down the back of the sofa I automatically think I can put that towards another bike. I would love a Vincent Black Shadow, a Honda CBX1000, Kawasaki GPZ900, Kawasaki GPZ1000RX, original 1992 Honda Fireblade and a Honda RC30. It’s never-ending.
