My first road bike. 1985 vt250 Honda
Attachment 64586
After discovering the old 250 was too slow to safely overtake anything on the
highway I upgraded to the 1988 Kawasaki GPX750R
Attachment 64588Attachment 64589
Then I got a 2004 Honda CBR1000RR.. insane bike and probably had too much fun on it
Attachment 64587
I had the fireblade for about 5 years then thought its time to slow down.
Enter the 2013 103ci superglyde

Turns out I still like going around corners so I bout this 2014 Kawasaki GTR1400.
Ive had it a couple of years now and it has a good blend of comfort, speed and handling.
If I ever win lotto I will be throwing a turbo on it to give it a bit more kick :)

A BMW K75 with a sidecar fitted its quite comical and a 1938 Harley Davidson with original paint and everything except the pipes. it used to be a police bike in QLD and he inherited it from my grandfather who obtained it though his work(as a police officer) hopefully ill get the change to inherit it one day. i dont have a pic of it atm but ill scratch around and see it
Ex police bikes were a great source , Ranging from triumph 650 saints,Kwaka 650 twins even BSA gold Flash.
Not sure of any others we never had the Harley servicars in fact we never had Harleys for a while.
The bike group I rode with [the Vigilantes] were affiliated to race thats why most members had some of the fastest
street bikes going around at that time. The club is still going but now is Harley orientated. Not a fan as they dont go,stop or handle
my BIL sold one for $50k ,even late 70s early 80s ppl were fitting turbos, but to race you had to double your capacity. Meaning
most would have to race in un limited and believe me there were some very fast bike in that bracket.
Calder Park had $1.00 a run Drag nights on Friday so instead of going to the pub we'd all meet at Calder and have 10 runs each
You were mainly racing yourself to better your last time , but still heaps of fun
Back in the days in the alleys behind Elizabeth st [bike central] there was a guy called Harry ,
who was building a triple kwaka 750 H1 drag bike, for those that dont remember these were 12 sec 1/4 mile death traps
750 two stroke triples way back in the early to mid 70s. Two pipes up one side and a single on the other.
a mate of mine just bought one from Geelong, it was in very good nick but has decided to do a full rebuild to show spec, also has a 68 norton fastback fully retoredQuote:
