Actually, it does look a bit like a SpeedMaster, but it is really a Thruxton 900.Quote:

I'm with a group - Girl Torque. We're basically a group of ladies on the Sunshine Coast who go for rides - sometimes with the boys.... Basically a social get together and a good excuse to get out on the bike. We're finding the some ladies grow in confidence riding with us as we're such a diverse range of skills and ages. Once the confidence is up the ride is so much more enjoyable.
I remember my first time out on the bike ...in 2001....I thought holy dooly this is fast....looked down and i was doing 50...:eek:

Well as I am still a Land Rover wanna be, at least I can post about bikes...
This is what I have at the moment:
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...008/04/593.jpg
BMW R1200 GS with Adventure suspension and wheels (mainly cause they are black:D). It's my touring and commuting bike.
Like to get a real dirt bike sometime in the future... Something like a ktm 400 exc or a 690 enduro. As long as it is light weight, 4-stroke and not annoyingly noisy...
Prev Bikes:
FZR-250
Kawasaki ZX9R
Yamaha XT600

My last, now sold. It just got up and ****ed off, any gear, any speed.
There is just nothing in this world that sounds like a big 4 on tap.
A Hayabusa or ZX12 would certainly put a smile on my dial.

Damn I miss it. What was I thinking?
No the windscreen's too low, I see no ariels for radio or uhf, lacks highway pegs, top box & panniers and I'll bet it doesn't have cruise control:D;)Quote:
