Well here are the piccies of Jeff's new ZRX1200S which we bought recently while on holiday. This makes 7 bikes for Jeff and one for me (my 400 Bros).

Be warned ladies, DO NOT go into bike shops while on holiday!!!

I have also attached some piccies of some of his other bikes. The yellow 74 850 Norton and the 1981 Suzuki GSX1100.

He also has another 74 850 Norton, a Honda Bros 650, a Honda GB400 and a Suzuki DR500. I will post piccies of them soon and some of his earlier bikes.

Nice collection.
How do you keep the tires fresh on that many scoots though?
I just cut my herd from 4 to 2 for that reason, could not do enough kms on all of them as the tires were going hard before they were worn out. Even when covered to protect them from the sun etc..

Nice ZRX Mate, I was looking very hard at those not so long ago and would have been more than happy to get one if the right one had come up. Well done and enjoy your muscle bike :Punk:

I'm banned from bike shops at the mo. The bank manager is still recovering from both of us going in for a bike within a month of each other.:gob: :sunny:

Ditto. Nice collection!

When are you starting your collection. :innocent: Bike shopping is a compulsion once started you can't stop.

Nope, I don't get to ride his bikes. I had a wee ride of the 650 once up a back road in Tinui.

I only have one bike because I have a nasty habit of dropping it (sometimes with me still on it) and breaking bits off (levers etc.)

Good point about being banned from bike shops, I may have to try that!

Jeff is an "old" biker from way back. Here are some of his earlier bikes when he was a young un!

The first 2 piccies are Jeff (age 17) on his 1951 AJS - cost $120.00 with rego and wof.

The third pic is the 1972 Norton Combat 750 which he bought new in 1972 and cost $1,995.

The 4th piccy is his Honda 500/4 - bought new in 1971 - cost $1,600.

All our current bikes (8 in total) are reg and warranted - 16 wofs a year!
Jeff lives and breathes motorbikes!

SDU,
I have my own login "Chrissie" but I usually only log in under my own login when I am at work (but we are still on holiday) going for rides in the sunshine at the mo!

:gob: Hate to see the insurance bill. 6 is scary enough. Good on ya:rockon:
Don't you wish that it is the rider rego not per bike. I mean you can only ride 1 at a time so why pay ACClevies & road tax more than once.

Actually, I have another complete Bros 400 in the spare bedroom with a blown motor just so that I have enough spare bits! Handy eh!

Hi Chrissie and Jeff.

And never a truer word spoken, Dodgyiti.

And it's bad enough when they fall, break or scratch their toy, but when they do it to your toy. :crazy: :cry:

And because SDU (my better half so I'm told) is smaller than me it is hard to set up a bike in a way that we both like.

And to save you having to adjust every thing, every time, you want to take the bike for a ride.

It's just so much easier, to have a his and hers combo.

And Nudemetalz have you bought her, her own V11 yet? :Pokey: :dodge: :chase:
