tis a virago 535 (1997 model, a fine year, reminds me of final fantasy 7 days lol), the picture that the person i brought it off took so its her helmet on the back not mine. used to have another ages ago with a screen and a larger back rest and a chrome badge logo instead of the painted on one.

Continental TKC80's dual sport tyres. Reasonable on road but with some off road capability. But the bike is too heavy for off roading, I tried last year and dropped it 3 times! Good fun though.

Holy... thats some good wheels you got. Here one of those is around $30k how much in your country? Such a shame we dont have roads for those kind of bikes

Looks good Bovril. Is that a boxster engine too?

This is my ride, a BMW R1200RT, good for long rides. Boxter engine, quite a punch on low revs too. I go on holiday with it. Not for the looks or the sound, but sure is fun to ride. The radio and cruise control are a blast.

Currently I've a 04 CBR1000RR, 06 Ninja 636, 04 Shadow 1100 Saber, 83 Suzuki GS850G, and an 05 Ninja 636 parts bike. I miss a few of my old ones. When I figure out how to post pictures I'll update.

This is my 1986 Honda Goldwing 1200 Aspencade w/ Drag Specialties Wing Leader Cosmetics. Got her back in January for $450. She's been my preferred bike since. Everything runs and works on her, even the radio, cassette deck, and air suspension. Her flat four (boxer four) runs great, and is incredibly smooth. Only has around 21,000 miles which is nothing for these bikes.

In the background is my Dad's 2003 Honda VTX1800 (I can add more picture if anyone is interested).

This is my 1985 Honda Shadow VT700. This was my first street legal bike, got her in August of last year. I am the third owner of it, and it only has 9,000 miles on it.

In the background is my Dad's 1986 Suzuki Intruder 700.

And lastly these are my two Honda Trail 70s. If I remember correctly one is an 76 and the other is a 78. I grew up learning to ride these two, they were my grandfathers before my Dad and I got them. Both run good as new! They are technically street legal, but as their top speed is around 22 mph, I really don't care to take them on any main roads.

I also have a 1984 Honda Goldwing Interstate that I got for free nonrunning from my Motorcycle instructor. Unfortunately it had spun and eventually threw a rod bearing. I am currently in the process of rebuilding that engine.
