Your bike list

[SMOKEU]

Hidden deep in all of us is a queer desire to ride a cruiser. Sort of like homos coming out of the closet, I had to give in to the secret desire to try riding feet foward.

I can honestly say that I have no desire to own a cruiser. However, I do have a bit of a motard fetish. I've never ridden one before but I am really keen to ride one to satisfy my cravings. Maybe I should go to a bike dealer to test ride one at some stage just to get it out of my system. This thing here http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-423332928.htm is so sexy.

i dont think was good model i never got it working i tryed heaps though weather was timing issue

the other c50 was ohc rode it week after wrote of the cb 400 n
good bike was much slower than c 90 that 40cc really makes diffrence ;-) eps in torque
the 50cc was just to slow in traffic 90cc was much more fun

[Macontour]

Kawasaki GA5(?) 100 2 stroke 1980-81, bought 2nd hand at Greenlane Suzuki
Suzuki GT250 X7 2 stroke, bought new, Vinsens
Suzuki GS550 Bought new, Vinsens, written off one night
Yamaha XJ650, bought 2nd hand, Vinsens I think. Had it for years, it never missed a beat, no chain to adjust either. Crashed it through the Paraparas on the way to the Boxing Day races in Wangavegas years ago and had to ride it home dented and steering funny. Still have it in the garage.
Cars for a few years because of family.
Currently Ducati 904 Superlight.
