Hi all,
Just getting into bikes after a 7-year layoff (bloody home loans!). Currently fightering a 1990 GSXR1100 that I picked up cheap off a work mate who moved to Melbourne and didn't have room to take with him, so expect a lot of stupid questions...
Previous bikes, in chronological order:
DR200 (used to ride the railway fire trails after school with some mates)
RG250 (first road bike, wicked-fast, great fun, but not a practical commuter)
GPX250 (much more sensible commuter during uni, no soul or excitement though)
GSXR750 '88 slingshot (now we're talking! Bought this to one-up a mate who had a 750 slabbie)
ZX6-R (replaced the tired GSXR, something a bit more modern and comfortable)
CBR600 (took to the track, made it to cusp of B-grade in club racing, but sold to fund first house purchase)
.
.
.
.
7 years elapsed and here I am ;). Don't mind a bit of fishing in my spare time, also hanging out for MotoGP and WSB to start up again. Not long to wait now...
Dream bikes? Probably some of the older "limited edition/race specials", RC30, OWO1, RC45, maybe even a YZF R7, but give it a few years to mature a bit.
