    Jeff's latest bike

    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.

    Always had a real soft spot for those old Commando's. One of these days when I can swing a second bike.....
    Ah, quite how does Jeff manage to talk his way into 7 bikes then Chrissie?

    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

    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.

    I hope you get to ride his toys too!
    When are you starting your collection. Bike shopping is a compulsion once started you can't stop.

    Jeff's latest bike

    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!
