Hey guys, been riding since I was 15 and love bikes to bits. Only problem is; whenever I see one, I look at it with potential for what it could be rather than what it is :D just moved here from good old New Zealand, and can't wait to get a bike over here and begin fightering it.

I've been through many bikes, and fightered two of them (one accidentally, the other on purpose), and managed to make a fairly cool cafe racer out of a GN250.

I'm huge into random customisation, but I'm fairly strong-minded about what I don't like. Bit of an artist, looking at getting a tattoo apprenticeship shortly. Love my music, especially rock and metal, but have an appreciation for almost anything.

anyway heres some pics of my former projects;

the first: a VFR400R NC24. I miss it dearly. (you'll hear this a lot from me :D) was lowsided on the left, then the right, then fightered, then destroyed when it went under the back end of a dihatsu mira (90% my fault) the chopper in the foreground is my brothers, a triumph saint 650 pre-unit. it handles better than it looks like it should, promise.

this is the second fighter, 1986 GSXR750G. started out fairly mint, and I caught a lot of flak for that haha. Ended up with inverted flat bars, custom 5" chrome headlight, some nice bar end mirrors, a reverse cone muffler (sounded luverly), and an R6 tail.

beginning..

and the final and most recent project, a $100 but-still-running shitter of a GN250. tuned it was pretty epic. little bikes are fun to thrash!!!

cheers guys! it was my first rebuild from scratch and first real experience with painting. i also made the seat which was a futile attempt once the vinyl started tearing :D it was hella fun though. wouldn't mind doing it again!
currently checking out whats available around me, and hoping i'll find some work soon so i can start saving up for something!
