ah scooters, i do love my scooters!

Here are a couple of mine,

1st my old bunkey suzi GS 400, i bought it as a wheelbarrow of parts and a frame, it was an ol military police bike with screen an crash bars ect but that was never going to cut it i rebuilt the thing, powdercoated the frame and gave her a coat of wild violet purple paint and drop bars. it was never in any way quick, but a good little town bike.


2nd, my old Kwaka Kermit, its based on a 75 KH500, but just a little bit bombed out (well a lot really) she lives on a staple diet of belray and avgas, regular pump fuel just ends in tears with a brace of melted wiseco's. she was ment to be for the drags but it is just so much fun as a road bike, she is at present waiting for another full rebuild, there is nothing like the sound of a worked kwaka triple!


last but not least, my 2000 Daytona. this has been a fantastic allrounder, great for a thrash with the mates, but equally at home on the long trips. did a 15000km trip around australia on this one including a 3 day track day at Bathurst with the Triumph owners group. it was a great trip, i have a motorcycle touring atlas of Australia which has listed the 50 best bike roads in Oz, 1 by 1 i worked my way through them, she never missed a beat the whole trip, just 2 services and 3 sets of tyres.




happy days happy days
Cheers
Craig
