Got any pics Dan, I love bikes. I sold my Vette to buy more bikes

When I get a bigger shed I'll buy another Vette or muscle car.

Boys and their Toys.. what would it be without a bike.... Yes.. Two Wheels is King.....

I have owned a few Jap bikes, and the last one was a beauty... GSXR 1000K2... it was of course worked with numerous mods and had quite a kick.. The current shopping trolley is a worked 250CC Derbi GP1-250... which is great fun, and alot slower !

Its not every day you get done for doing 190Km in a 90km highway... ohhhh.. that cost me .. now wait for it..... all up after the court cases ...

6 months loss of licence,
$6000 dollars in costs (including leagals + fine),
6 Demerit Points....

666... Yep !!!!

I've had a few bikes before "life after cycling" started.

My favourites were

A Kawasaki z1r which was my learner bike, a great tourer and would wheelspin a bit too much.

Then I bought a Ducati mike hail wood replica, everyone loves a square case. It was fantastic. - one up.

Funding aside the next bike would have to be an old 900 ss

See you on the road lefty

I would love to post som pics, but you need extra small file sizes to post here and i dont know how to do that quikly.

Bout time i seen a few here who like bikes, can some one tell me an easy way to post pics, most of my photos are around 6 mb! as i also snap motorcycle racing as well.

My collection is part of my superanuation plan!!!!

I have a few bikes, Vintage mx and road. been saving these ones up for years!!

1977 Yamaha MX 250. (fully race prepped, Im going flat track racing next year) Favorite bike !!!
1979 Suzuki RM 400. I bought this bike off the ORIGONAL owner and still on origonal piston!!
1980 Yamaha YZ 400. Restored to origonal
1976 Montesa 250 enduro. I swapped 200L of deisel for this machine off the father in law!! Bargin!!

I also have a 1974 Honda ATC 70 trike that i restored, and i am currently trying to finish off a 1981 Honda FL250 Odyseey

Ducati 1200 multistrada, my everyday bike
ducati 900 Turbocharged monster
Ducati 998 race bike.... unfortunatly , it does not look like this at the moment due to a high speed off at wakefeild park. (i hate that track)

Damnn, raafrebel,

What a collection. . Awesome. . The old vintage are the best. , my brother has a 20 plus year old YZ250 with red frame and gold rims that's fully restored and moves like nothing else on the dirt.

I didn't ask, but judging from the pics your in the States?

No , I live her in Australia. I have duel citezenship, so Im Australian and American! I spend a LOT of time there, Have lots of family and freinds over there and thats were i buy everything that i have and import it myself. I bought the Turbo Monster from a bike musium in QLD.
You can get some amazing bargins over there, but i am quite lucky in the fact that all my freinds look out for stuff for me. and beleive me, Ive had to knock back some REALLY cool stuff, which sux bigtime!!

ha ha Lefty, My wife thought i was crazy untill she found out how much she could get if i die!! More fun than investing in realestate!! :)
