Current bike is a Ducati 748R which I've had for the last 8 years or so. Have done everything from touring on it to trackdays and Hillclimbs Saw a fantastic movie on the weekend called TT3D: Closer to the Edge. It follows a rider through the Isle of Man TT race. The movie is only on for a short time so catch it while you can.

RIP Gary (left in pic)

No pictures of them and was a few years back now since I owned one or even rode do have some good memories.

Started with a 185 Suzuki trail bike used this to try out motor cross.

125 XL Honda bit under powered.

175 XL Honda nice power but a bit heavy to remove from a tight spot.

250 trials bike wasn't quick but heeps of grunt got into and out of a lot of tight spots on this bike

350 x4 Honda this was the only street bike I owned was really after a 500 x4 at the time.

I would IF i could find some for 31mm forks, they're made of 'un-obtainiun', like most of the bits on the bike haha.

1938 Sun Autocycle.

2 Stroke, you pedal it like a pushbike, hold the decompression lever, drop the clutch and the motor starts. Runs on the smell of an oily rag.

Still runing the original Pink Spark plug that you can dismantle and clean etc.

Sweet Ride :ph34r:

This is my new addition to family, a 2002 WR426F. Got over the restoration bobber relatively quickly as I want something I can ride now! Going to road register and get sumo setup for her.

Time to bring this thread back alive since I have moved my interest from BMW's to bikes.

Recently bought a XV250 ( same as Kerry's) and turned it into a bobber.

Here are some photos:

@ Tristan, Yes this is my first bike! It is indeed very good to learn on!

@Glenn, Yep Solved! I think the rain destroyed one of the spark plugs so only 1 cylinder was running but installed 2 new plugs and now it runs amazing again, Thanks for all you and wayne's help!

I love bikes, always have since a kid!! Had lots of different big-bore trail / ATV's over the years, & got into road bikes about 10 yrs ago, of which I've had 3 - 906, 907, & then a ST2 Ducati........

Another Ducati is on my 'hit-list' for 2014 - I'd happily go another ST - a 3 is my preference, but will see whats around @ the time......... ;):) I just pine for one all the time at the moment - Glenn being a ba$tard by putting up that pic doesn't help............... :) (Sold my last one, & various other toys to help with a house purchase............)

I've worked in various motorcycle shops at times over the years, & Japanese road bikes don't interest me really.............they're really good, but to me they have no 'heart or soul' to them...........and I'd probably give up bikes before I ever own a Harley or a Gold-Wing............each to their own though.

I'm in the middle of building something very very similar to this but 2-stroke. I've found myself leaning more & more towards smokers. Just have a liking for under 200cc 2-strokes.

I should get around to actually getting a license haha, VFR isnt LAMS approved though so still wouldnt be allowed to ride it until I get my full which is really annoying.

There is supposed to be new law coming in where there isnt any time wait between getting your learners and restricted... it will be competency based. Not that theres any difference between your learners and restricted anyway, just dont have to have an L plate, and no one puts those on anyways.

hrrm over revved the VFR accidently and it threw a valve shim out and a retainer... still rode it home it home 40 odd km as I was in the middle of no where with no phone. lucky it didnt drop the valve, so wont take much to get going again.
