Zx6r mate.. 600cc

I wanted something bigger so i got the R1 as a stepping stone and to get used to 1000cc bikes..

Then i got the Fireblade

Lol..Naa

I only use them for fun mate, not a mode of transport..

Busa's are fun though

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

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

Get the bike, pick up the barmaid on the back and then pork her..that seems fair tbh

If they are actually into bikes it like putty in yer hands )

Just be bloody careful out there. Try to avoid posing while you are rolling - looking at your reflection in shop windows is a definite no-no - and I hope you'll never have to hear the familiar car driver's phrase - "I'm sorry, I never saw you coming".

Eyes like a hawk, and reactions to match, will see you through.
