I'm going by the name Grasshopperman...
Ridden bikes since I was about 4, and grew up on acreage in Sydney's West.. around the Camden area where Mcoy, Miladin and the Goberts are from. Been a pretty good breeding ground for riders.
I raced the Thumpernats back when it was pretty big , on various XR-630's and then raced the first of the YZF's when they hit the market. Stopped racing when I hit 30, sold my dirtbike to my brother and just rode my ZZR1100 around on the streets of Sydney's West.
Cut a long story short - Ive just picked up a really clean VFR750' 95 model.
Ive always loved the sound of the VFR and am embarking on a street-custom build with the help of a good mate who has built some pretty radical bikes in his day... (Harleys, BSA, Triumphs etc). He's looking forward to the challenge ahead , as am I .
So, I'm really excited about the project.
I've been chatting with Hyofighter and he welcomed me here , so thanks for that mate.
I love what he did with his VFR , so Ive been looking closely at his build for ideas and inspiration.
Cheers.
