Me? I'm just a grumpy grandfather who enjoys playing with nitro and Harleys, air-cooled Kawasakis without nitro, other people's bikes... EG: Rapid Bike Magazine's 'Mr Muscle" GSX1400, and other projects that attract my attention.
Started riding before the GSX-R was thought of. Have owned Hondas (CB250, the late 60's type, CB500, CB550, CB550, CB750 (SOHC), CB900, CT110), Suzukis (T250, GSX1100, A100), Yamaha (XS650, XJ600, XV750, SR500, XT/TT500), Kawasaki (W1S, W2SS, Z750, Z750LTD, Z900, Z1000, KE175), Triumph (Thunderbird, T140), Harley (11-second Sportster, FXRS-SP). There's others but I can't think of them at this time of night.
Have road-raced (Post classic T250, TZ/RZ Yamaha, BEARS HD, and various other contraptions).
Have drag raced a multitude of different bikes including Evo Sporty, Triumph Rocket Three, Suzuki GSX1400, HD Genny Shovel, Triumph Sprint, Kawasaki Z1000/1327, and various other things.
The newest addition (and only current toy)is a 76 Z900. I have plans, oh, do I have plans.
Have already located a GSX1100 swingarm. Probably match that with spokes and suitably sized alloy rims.
Using the 'old mate' network, I'm gathering parts to convert it internally to a specification that'll make me smile. Beware of old farts on old bikes. I may be looking for a set of 38 or 40mm CV carbs off a GSX-R. Have to count the pennies and check further around the network of old mates.
I've got nothing left to prove... but I'm not about to start backing down from a race.
Have already worked out who some of the other hooligans are around here.
Have fun,
