Honda CG 110.Original Yellow peril, went everywhere man!

Yamaha XS 400 Special.mint condition did many thousands of miles with this girl one and two up.

Yamaha XS Japanese commuter model (didn't look like a Special) triple. Complete rebuild "Woody" from Pukekohe Suzuki took her away literally in 20 litre buckets and returned her, painted original Grey with blue pin stripping,, painter a personal friend also in Puke named her "Yamahaha" and in absolute Mint reconded/restored condition.Loved that old girl, when you throttled on the arse end rose up with the torque from the drive shaft.
Swapped her for a Rambler Hornet V8. Worst thing I ever did.

Suzuki 185 Had this for a little while shortly before our first born twin girls arrived.Hated it but it got me to work and back everyday for a year or so.

Suzuki Gs 850 G Shaft drive, tweaked to the Max for racing with Ducki fairing and Kwaka dropped Bars, Yoshi big bore kit, comp clutch, trick carbs the whole nine yards.This was probably the ultimate sleeper, never lost a drag race with this old girl, spoke to many a traffic cop though, lucky for me they usually wanted a ride and didn't give me a ticket.
had to sell her when the girls did arrive as the wife had to give up her 1959 Morrie thou too.

16 years on and hey hey hey it's XV 1000= TR1 1981 Vintage and oh am I a happy little camper.

Well thats all for now can see myself maybe getting something a bit newer one day but for now the prospect of rebuilding this classic is making me feel all warm inside.

Thats me for now.
