Hmm... thinking cap is on..

It all started here.

Suzuki RG90 (FAT tyred floater, except in the bottom of a freshly drained dam.... *sigh*)

Honda XL250R (made it myself!, repaired it myself several times, it was a rolling silicone advertisement to prevent oil leaks, I was young, what's a gasket? )

Yamaha RD250LC ( Couldn't kill this thing, bought it with a failed oil/water seal, removed the yoghurt, replaced the seal and left a trail of two-stroke smoke across the state!)

Suzuki GSX400F (four friggin cylinders!!! The power!.... and a gear indicator, I didn't have to think as hard!)

Yamaha XS1100E (78' model, came with a butt ugly La Parisienne fairing, but it went, well, everywhere)

Yamaha FJ1100 (bought with 98,000k's, I was still young, but crikey this was a powerful toy, young remember?)

Yamaha XS1100RH (it was a like a mechanical Bulldog, shaft drive after the FJ.... I like shaft drive now)

Moto Guzzi Le Mans 1000 Mk V ('Reliable and a Moto Guzzi' <- said no-one.... ever! Hmmm why is this stopping? Where's my key!!! o.. down there in the barrel hanging on the loom by the front wheel)

BMW K100RS 1988 (First ABS model.... after the Guzzi, it was a revelation, fill, ride and repeat)

BMW K1 1991 (pwhoar! Lookit I'm Flash Gordon.... with no luggage)

Suzuki GSX400F (2nd one, good little commuter, still not thinking hard)

BMW K100LT 1988 (hit from behind by a mini bus, taking all the hard luggage off with my lower back/legs, that wasn't fun.... )

BMW K1 1992 (yes, another one, see above)

BMW K100RS 1992 (The RS series is still my favourite, this was a cross country stallion baby!)

BMW K1100RS 1996 (it's 100cc bigger, slightly heavier, and well, pretty much the damn same... o well)

Honda ST1100 (Bad accident, smashed my noggin, thank heavens for the BMW systems helmet)


Kawasaki ZX10 (bought as a replacement, clutch hub possessed, squealed more'n a stuck pig under acceleration)

Kawasaki ZZR1100D (Wow.. a great motor, let down my a ghost in the machine which would just stop it, usually in the rain, miles from nowhere with no reception....)

Honda Blackbird (sold because of house deposit, but yeah, these things were awesome I know I never did 305km/h but the speedo showed it...... )

Kawasaki GPZ1000RX (backwards step because of above, proof if you're a bike junky that you'll take anything so stop chewing the furniture and fill the shed void)

BMW K1200RS (best one!! had this for nearly 5 years, crossed the country a few times, just loved this thing, after all it's got 'RS' in the designation)

BMW Rockster (nice bike, servo brakes were powerful but whirring at the lights just gave me the irits)

BMW R1200ST (sold because it was a Friday bike built with incorrect valve guide sizes, clattered from new when warm)

BMW K1200R (hey look a BMW with mumbo!, but a gearbox engagement that let the next town you were clunking on in)

BMW R1200GS 2007 (Thought I'd go offroad a bit, we've a sh*tload of 'offroad' over here..... after I swapped the bars it was a nice bike)

BMW K1300R (back to the road, compared to the K12R, a completely different bike, quickshift and fuelling perect but the friggin switch blocks...I mean really, three replaced in a year?)

BMW R1200GS 2008 (flipped that, don't ask.. it hurt.... a lot, lesson learnt? Don't get a flu after you've cracked ribs)

BMW R1200GSA (Great BIG toy... just never felt comfortable after flipping the above)

BMW F800R (great little bike, some vibration above 5000rpm, but a good honest commuter)

Honda Crosstourer VFR1200X (Awesome, awesome motor, although wife needed a step ladder)

Honda F6B!! Current!


There were other offroaders as a kid I've not listed, but the major on roads are here, depressingly I realise I could've bought a bike with the stamp duty paid to the government for vehicle transfer. Hmmm.... this was fun.
