Lol, yes some real cool stories there...I grew up amongst all that, my old man had long hair and had an old Honda 750 which back in the day was the nuts (late 70's)
Guess that's where the love of bikes came into it...or maybe when my old man used my bedroom to strip down and clean his bike one year!, yea it was probably that lol |

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 ![]() ![]() 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 |

I hope to be getting onto two wheels soon. Something always got in the way when I was younger, needing a car for work purposes, a family etc so now I have less of those worries I've recently done my CBT and plan to get my full license hopefully in the next 6 months. My missus has put it down to a mid life crisis but says its ok as she'd prefer me getting a bike to me running off and porking some 20 yr old barmaid! I spose its only fair

Sage advice that! Remember that everyone else on the road is a blind muppet who is too busy adjusting the stereo, makeup, or smashing a burger into their piehole to be worried about looking for someone on a bike! Your situational awareness has to be bang on all the time, cause just like the aces used to say " it's the one you don't see that gets you"
