SYDNEY BASED BIKING

1992. After a move from Newcastle to Sydney, the decision was made to get another road bike. There was as brief flirtation with an early '80's CB750F, then another Yamaha XJ550.

1993. I still had the Yamaha XJ!

1994. The Yamaha was traded on a late model Honda CB Seven Fifty F2N, the Charcoal grey one. This was a great bike, and was also the bike I had my second 'off' on. Two up, with my new Bride on the back we hit some bodgy roadwork on WisemansFerry Road and went down at low speed. Wife still has the scars, bike was ridden home minus a few pieces and wasoff the road waiting on parts for nearly three months. Wife has never been on a bike again since :-(

1995. Still had the Honda, but traded it on a 1990 model Kawasaki ZZ-R1100.

1996. Sold the big Kwaka, and bought a new Yamaha DT175 for the short km commute to work. Kept it a few years. It was sold with low km's and I bought a 1991 Suzuki GSX1100G shaftie. I rode this for a couple of years, before putting it into storage at my then workplace before selling it privately in about 1999.
