Hello everyone,

I’d like to introduce myself @ Lonesome Twin.

I’m Martin, living in Southern Germany. New old member has two meanings. First I’m 65 years old which is at least a little bit old. And second,  years ago I was a member of a Britisch ‘Lonesome Twin’ forum which might have been a predecessor of your forum.

These are my bikes

Since 1980 and about 260.000 km I’m running the red Z 750 B3 which I bought new and since then have modified to the original in many parts. About 15 years ago I thought about adding a scrambler or Enduro for trips on gravel roads in Italy or France. I thought about an old Honda Africa Twin or an air cooled BMW 800 GS. But then instead me and a friend built the Z 750 offroad twin on the left side that I’m runing on streets and dirt roads since then.

The mostly original Z 750 B3 on the right is still waiting to get on the street again. And when in  2007  I got the opportunity to buy the Yamaha TX 750 I wanted so much but couldn’t afford when I was 18 I bought it.  Until now I’ve run about 25.000 km on the TX which is very similar to the Z 750 twin.
