Ah!
I man with taste for the unusual.

Some times I wish I still had the D Super.
It was the smoothest cruiser I have ever owned.
Great design for wind resistance, could sit on 100kph and get 30 mpg. Sit on 160kph and it did 21 mpg.
Tow a trailer with a high object in it, no guts and soaks fuel. A true testomy to aerodynamics.

They can also drive around with one wheel off at the rear, did that in Townsville. One of the neighbours got such a shock he nearly ran over his foot with his lawn mover

The Citroen flew over bumps and gutters like they never exhisted. Gee I miss it

In order:

1968 Ford Cortina MkII - sold 1987
1984 Suzuki TS185ER - sold 1987
1985 Kawasaki KR250 - traded
1986 Kawasaki GPZ1000RX - sold 1997
1972 XA Falcon - sold 1992
1971 XY Falcon - donated to a drug rehabilitation programme for restoring 2006
1999 Subaru Forester Ltd

Had a 1972 500 Kawasaki triple (first disc model)

Still have my 73 H2 750 Triple

Baz.

Yes I to missed a couple, allowable at my age. VF valiant slant six, VF Valiant V8 318 two door and Susuki Katanna 1100.

I had the first Mach III. It handled pretty crook, I think it had a couple hinges in the frame. Had a power band that was dynamite (4000RPM ) and a twin leading shoe front brake that faded badly after five secs.

I wish I still had the CB750.
