Just thought I would post some pics of my bikes(http://)
-
Very nice looking bevy of beauties you have there! Nice that the scooter's in front. :D
What are they all?
-
If you guys want to order an over size case of parts, I just may be inside. Nice stable you have there Sid! Do they have the grav. boots at customs, or should I carry an anchor?
-
OK, in front is "Sid" AKA Sid The Sloth 2007 ZX50, Then is "Gypsy" 1999 Kawasaki GPX250 (you may know it as a Ninja 250), Then is "Jessie" 2009 Suzuki GS500F, then is "Marilyn" 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 (VL800). My wife has a thing about names for everything. The GPX has been comandeered by my wife. I bought the scooter for her to learn on and it worked, she now rides th Kwaka so I get Sid, hence the need for a little more speed. :). No such thing as too much. ;)

Here's a post you may be able to help out w/ sid. http://www.scooterinvasion.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2048 (http://www.scooterinvasion.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2048)

Top stuff mate, that bloke has got to post a video of tha race. I have beaten my wife with her on the Kwaka and me on the scooter, but she is a lot more confident now so I must accept the innevitable (though that may be about to change) :)
-
....nice bikes!!!!
-
Cheers wordslinger, I certainly like them, nothing better than getting a nice day and just ride to where ever you feel like going. Now that the missus is off the back and on a bike herself it makes it more enjoyable for her as well.
-
Very nice collection of beasties. Drool Drool....
-
I like your c50 :) Would love to test ride a C40, and possibly buy it. Haha.

Jeez Tony, you have had some classic bikes, do you still have any of them?
-
Let me guess -- the RD was the quickest of those pictured? Even without the chambers.
-
...i like the pipes on that CB400 Super Sport...cooooll....

No, the last one was the XJ650 which I sold in '91. I cancelled my bike licence back then as I didn't think I'd ever get another bike & there was a $50 a year surcharge on bike licences to fund learner rider training. So now I am on my scoot with Learner plates on the back & having to start fresh to get my licence back. I reckon the CB350/4 & the Supersport would be worth a bit now if I still had them

1st 2 stroke I ever owned & yes it was very quick but I didn't really like the feel of the 2 stroke motor on a road bike for just general cruising around
-

Yeah I loved the way they all curved around like that. I think that bike was my favourite out of all of them. The XJ650 had plenty of power but the CB400 was just so smooth to ride
-
The sl 125 brings back some memories. Great bike on or off road a real workhorse
-
Wow, you got some nice bikes there, sid!!!
-
G'day Rianna, yeah I like them, but I have lost the green one, mrs Sid reckons I can maintain it and register it, but it is hers :). lol
-
I was surprised to see so many nice bikes!!! I can see why Mrs Sid picked the green one. It is sharp looking. Someone across town here has a red one that looks similar. It looks to have bigger tires, but probably a bit tall for me. Which one do you use when you are working on the ZX? If I had so many I would have a hard time picking a favorite, lol.
-
The zx is my main one in that it is what I use to get to work and back. However, on my days off I like to go for a ride, that is where the Horrocks pass and pt. germein gorge come in to it. Mrs. Sid likes the green one as she is short and that bike fits her well. Funnily enough, the biggest bike there being a cruiser has a low seat height and she can put both feet down on it.
-
That's interesting. I'm a shorty and would have thought most cruisers to be too tall for me. I usually just see Big Bike and never thought about the seat height much. The agility looks to be the perfect size for me but the seat is high. Another lesson learned. lol. And yes, you and Mrs. sid have some great places to ride near you. I loved those pictures. If I had a bike that ran I would probably be riding there or looking for places like those to ride all the time. They looked so peaceful and beautiful. A great way to spend your time off!
-
By the nature of their style, cruisers do have a low seat height, but the width can offset that. In the end, you must sit on as many as you can to see what feels comfortable.
