Owned it since 2007, spent hundreds of hours making it better, is still my favourite bike in my shed, in the tight stuff! 98.4hp at the rear wheel, and about 165kg's these days, goes ok. :)
Dragged my TRX850 out of the shed yesterday, for the first time since March this year....Forks fixed and ready for Spring & Summer riding....next bike to be dragged back out the shed...the trusty ol FZ6 streetfighter!

Well, every year, i make a "pilgrimage" to Phillip Island for the World Superbikes, and this year was no different. I always take heaps of pic's, cause i just love "bike porn", and there is always heaps at Phillip Island when the big international meetings are on...so i thought i would share...

Well, since i sold the FZ6 in my shed, that was set up for touring, and 2 up duties, i really havent had a suitable bike to take the Lady in my life for a decent bike ride....my black FZ6 has no pillion seat, and the pillion seat on my TRX850 is pretty much a devise of torture for unsuspecting...
OK folks, am looking at a bike for sale, and it's in Camden in NSW. It's a YZF1000 Thuderace at the right price, and i just need someone with half an idea about what to look and listen for in a used bke, before i make the move to fly over to Sydney to have a look, and probably buy the bike...
I just found out today that my shed is going to be featured in a bike mag, as part of an ongoing section in the magazine, which features readers sheds.

The idea is for...
Well, a few weeks back i had a mate ring me and tell me he needed to change his chain & sprockets...as his chain was slipping a bit!
Well when we got to doing the job, and took off the front sprocket cover, this is what we found! Just one full tooth left on it, the rest are just obliterated...
The other day i was at the Airport, buying some reading material for a plane trip to Darwin, picked up the latest edition of Rapid Bikes magazine, have a flip through and what bob's up....my bike! And not just a photo of it, but it's in there as one of the 12 finalist's for Rapid Bikes Modified...
