Last xmas I  bought myself a black gsx1100g to go with the other 3. 
Last ride she got a " thunk thunk thunk" at end of ride -sussed it out yesterday and looks like box drama. May swap engine from grey one.
A couple of weeks ago we passed a bike for sale up the road. Oooh went I.
No prizes for guessing what happened today   
07 Suzuki Bandit 1250 welcome to the fold 
   
Panniers & top box, rad guard, crash bars, yoshi pipe, heated grips, big screen,
Tyres/sprockets/ chain /battery/pads 15 months ago, 08/20 rego.
He's got it 10 years ago & it had 6k km, now has 48k km.
Ill health was reason for selling.  He's only a youn'en too - - - 82 
$4500 paid,   insured for  $8000
Panniers were on wrong sides when he took pics.






Now to re-organise garage to fit another.

Its got a lot of extras and has had an easy life.  50% of the kms he put on it was
with wife on rear. Should be fun

Squeezed in across the front of the other 4.

Went for a spin last week for a 235 km  bonding ride. All good,  though it  keeps speeding      
Went for another today up to Batemans Bay and found this fella, cat and his booming Harley.    @Lakes



Had lunch at East Lyne at a servo/food / bike place.
Owner took pics of us on 2 of his bikes   






In the last pic , up against the back wall is a pushy. 
It's a Harley Davidson with wooden rims,  as rare as all *uck.

420 kms today , not speeding as much  sometimes

Great meet up guys

Love the Indian Scout on the back wall

Hey Mick, thanks for riding up! was good to see you again, & your bike was great & a very lucky purchase!!
Thanks for your kind words Dazz & always good to catch up with you too!!
Have to also mention how fit Mick is looking!! I have gained some weight as have not been riding the pushy as much ( fires & other reasons ) but as winter coming on I'll get out on it soon.
I used to stop at East Lynne store a lot at one time, then a month ago I had ridden to Braidwood with Ulysees Club , on the way back we stopped at Nelligen Cafe & I meet a chap on a really nice Ducati 850, was 1984 model and they where one of Ducati's top performance models of the day. the chap owned it from new & was proud to tell me he had ridden it 150,000 k, also told me the following week at East Lynne road house there would be a vintage car & bike display & MX & Trials bikes display , they had a trials & MX track out the back. I could not make it but a group of us road up the day before, I was surprised at transformation of the place as like a small MC museum . the guy told me about that real old Harley push bike & he had full documentation on it.
Also while I was there the first time a chap on a haybusha started to chat to me, we got talking and he was telling me he was just importing a rare Ducati from Italy & it was taking so long, just before mick left to ride home, that same chap pull's up on the Ducati that he was telling me he had waited four months for, it had Historic rego .
Thanks again Mick!!

Don't get too excited Mick... I get told the same thing all the time and my body is "f..ked"

Somebody nicknamed me "spent" the other day and I took that as a compliment.
