What bikes have you owned??

[ResidentAngel]

hmmm ... mines not a long list at all, but I did travel nearly 200,000 miles on the suzuki !

1953 Jawa 125 - top speed of 55 mph

196?? Arial Arrow 250 (had apparently been used for sand-racing without an air filter, and couldn't go up hills

195? Jawa 250 (borrowed)

195? Jawa 350 (given to me, on condition I went up to Awanui and fetch it off the side of the road - top speed of 60 mph.

1972 ?? Suzuki TR500 (rebuilt at about 120,000 miles, and put into a Yamaha 250 frame)

197? Suzuki 250 (with 350 barrels and never properly sorted carburetors - was lethal).

1980 MotoGuzzi 850 Le Mans (buried under the back of a bus - choice was that or the herd of cows crossing the road - raining, no farmer down the road, and Jersey cows the same colour as the freshly graded clay bank -- aargh!)

1988 Yamaha FZR750 ( stolen, and burnt when he crashed. Police said he couldnt ride for nuts, and he still owes me a lot of money, when the police can find him again - which they dont seem to be trying much to achieve as far as I can see, despite the court orders).

1984 VF1000 Honda (53,000 km since January 2002, and almost a full rebuild).

Wannabe ? ... 1500cc 220bhp VMax that handles!

[avgas]

i blew the motor to bits in the RG (6 months after repairing all the fairings, idicators, mirrors.... on its after another crash - now sits in Colemans, 81TUF), wrote off the GB (damn blind office workers), sold the 100 for $20, pulled apart the 185 and never assembled (sold as a bitsa), swapped the RZ for a cage.

[That Guy]

I think I've done this before but there's something satisfyingly nostalgic about documenting past and present iron.....anyway

1984 RM80 (still remember my first race ever on this)
1982 RM125 (light swith power band, hopeless drum brakes)
1988 CR125 (had some Woodville GP glory on this)
1991 KX125 (did well at Auckland club champs on this)
1990 NSR250 (first road bike - siezed on me while flat out, didn't crash though)
1992 KX250 (getting tired of mx by now)
1992 RGV250 (more 2 stroke road bike maddness. Siezed on me again while flat out - my fault though)
1998 CBR600 (great step up form RGV - finally learnt how to wheelie)
1999 VTR1000 (Wheelie madness...nice sound)
2001 748S (Favourite road bike - great handling, rev the hell out of it wihtout doing stoopid speeds - very satisfying machine)
1999 YZ250 (Back to MX - needed more fitness)
2001 YZ250F (Getting fitter - best MX bike ever - awesome machine; easily embarrassed plenty of 450s/250 2 strokes)
2003 VTR1000 (back to the road...some touring....not happy with heavy slow handling..still a nice engine though)
1991 RGV250 Racebike (great road race learner machine, light, cheap to run so far......)
2005 GSXR600 (to be a race bike one day.....second favourite road bike; actually a race bike masquerading as a road bike...nutter's machine)
