Hehe... not going to enter the looks discussion since I ride one of these:



Bike of the year, but I am 23 years too late!

It's cheap, reliable, comfortable, big, fast enough, and discrete.

Used to LOVE trail riding but ended up too injured at too young an age to keep at it.

Just about to get this registered:




Has been in storage for ages, in the family longer, and will be my partner's first road bike. Gotta love a woman who loves bikes!

LOL the man knows!!

Its true tho - the busa is not known to be a pretty bike as such, but us owners do try

Every now & then I do get a comment about it looking nice - but it all depends I guess on what each person finds nice, I am happy & that is what counts

Love some of these pics guys!! esp the older bikes - I can see in the future the rangie all worked up & then a collection of old bikes filling the rest of the spare room in the shead!!

My current bikes are a 2005 WR250F and i'm restoring a H2 750 Kawasaki triple 2 stroke.

Love bikes, don't ever remember being without one, my favourite bike was my K100RS BMW.

Rode around Europe for 5mths on a K100 BMW that i bought through the European delivery plan, loved every minute of it and got the K100 RS after trading in the K100 when i got home.

Did a lot of touring on bikes ranging from my Old 650 Triumph Trophy and Laverda Jota and numerous other great bikes and did the Clubman ralley, Alpine ralley, Bathurst bike races and so on and so on.

All up around 40 years of owning and riding bikes.

The whole family rides
WR250F

TTR250 and XT230 Sero


My SOS or thunder bike, RGV250 rolling chassis with an XL600 motor DR650 Carby, GSXR750 revalved rear shock.


My GSXR750 at Fairburn park Queenbean.

I grew up riding dirt bikes and three wheelers - still love to own a Honda XR250 threewheeler or a Kawasaki Tecate 250 threewheeler - nothing like hanging off the side of a three wheeler going around dirt corners.
I currently ride an XJ600, mostly for commuting - do not do many long rides anymore due to a 4year old and 3month old at home. I like the sports bikes but will avoid them as I like my license too much
My 4year old wnats to get a bike - so an excuse for me to get another dirtbike or performance quad to go riding with him.

A current count of somewhere between 3 & 7 depending on how you count parts as bikes. No longer racing but have been competitive in enduros, road racing and plenty of trail and road KMs under my wheels.

Yamaha TRX850 nicely sorted (suspension & brakes) for the road, stock motor and pipes because I don't need to go any faster on the road.

Kawasaki KR640 single cylinder road racer, retired.

Honda CR250 (1973) road racer, never ridden, artwork.

TZ250 GP bike, just to look at and steal bits from.

KLR600 trail bike (rat bike) which would be interesting with the KR640 engine.....

Various bits that match some or all of these from wheels to frames and engines and all of the bits in between.

Hiring a GSX600R on Friday for a thrash around Phillip Island.

Keep the wheels on the ride side and out from under the Land Rover!

My daily commuter is an 03 SV650s - done over 55000k's since new (had 6k's when I picked it up from the dealer). Had an 02 SV650s before that from new, did over 32000k's when traded in on the 03.
My learner bike was a Honda NSR250 - 2-stroke import. Very interesting when learning to ride....hitting the power band in the wet....

I've also played around with Mazda rotories - just love em. Good fun and great power for what they are. Last one was a series 4 rx7 (porche shape) with a 13B turbo...had some wiring issues due to age and ended up wiring in a microtech computer. Worked ok, but couldn't find anyone who new enough to tune it for the street. Nothing beats the factory computing in anything.....the R&D has been done.

Hoping to go on a 4x4 day either Sat or Sun. I think the GCLRO club is going to beerwah.....if a newby can tag along.

I love bikes but don't have one at the moment . My last bike was a YZ426 and that was fantastic . I have also owned a KLX250 99', GPX250 94', CR250 95' and a ZX9R 98'. all great bikes in the right spot and had a heap of fun with the lot of them . Later on i would love ( dream ) a Suzuki TL1000R . Awesome V-Twin power and go like the clappers .

May the south rise again

Excellent stuff!!! I currenly have a 2005 CBR1000RR Repsol Replica and absolutely love it. It's my pride and joy. The only mods it has are a Megacycle muffler and tinted buble screen. I had all the bodywork clear coated to protect the stickers. Looking to do more when the funds permit. I also have an 2002 XR650R which I also love. Great bike also although a tad in the heavy side, but then again so am I. Have previously had a 1985 RZ250R, 1985 GSX-R750R, 1997 CBR900RR and XR500RD. Love the riding on the road, but think these days I prefer riding in the bush. Bikes are awesome and I will never not have one. Would love to have a collection of them, but that's just a dream. There's just never enough money to spend on all the toys at once. In the process of saving for mods for the Disco. Love the Land Rovers as well.

Cheers
