Old newbie

Should have introduced myself before now 

My interests are moonlight rides, and no riding in the rain  

Jim

Welcome to the forum Jim ...............from an in the rain rider 

Thanks for the welcome, and the help Paul 

I've ridden in the rain , I just don't like it 

I was a postman for 15 years, rode to work in the rain, rode around in the rain at work, and rode home in the rain 

Couple of wrecks I've owned, had a lot more just don't have pics digitised  

Welcome Jim, where are you from and what is your current ride?

Hey Chook, Sunbury in Vic, '12 Bandit.

I was going to update location in my profile but couldn't find it.........yet

That would do it   I commute , but at least stay in the dry during the day .

Welcome rodent4. With a name like that you'll fit in well here

Welcome to the forum. It's life Jim but not as we know it! 

Welcome Jim, bet you wish you still had the Mach 111. Saw an old 750 triple in a bike shop the other day for $20,000. Used to have an S3 myself but don't miss carrying a pocket full of spark plugs.

Hindsight  

750 fours, Zed's, 750 triples, they're all 20k bikes now

Pic of an H2 at the Island classics the other weekend 

Great picture! Nearly killed myself on one - lifted the front wheel in the first 3 gears when she hit the power band each time.

Another pic from the Island, Waterbottles are getting up there also.  

Now you're depressing me. Had a Kwaka 900 and a couple of 1000s as well as Honda K1 & K2 amongst others.

Never owned a 9 myself, but the brother had a nice '76 that was pictured earlier. Closest I got was a GPZ 1100.

Another nice bike pictured above in the background is a Kat, I used to have a Blue, Red and Silver ones......wish I still had them too  

Only 750 four I ever owned(80's model) had an 888(so I was told) kit in it and ali rods, what a pig......but it flew  

I lied, said there was a pic above of my brothers 9, pic below.

One of the few good things about being an old fart are the memories!

Chop that shit out, you've got 16 years on me oldtimer 

Wrong! 17 years tomorrow mate. More years of riding, mistakes and good times. As I look back I am getting better all the time 

Bet you don't even remember the Music Festival I came to there.

I've only been here for 19 years, but I do know George Duncan well and have been out there many times

Happy birthday Oldtimer 

If I get out to Bayswater tomorrow I'll buy you a cake 

Don't know him but I have great memories of Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs there and always thought it should have continued.
