[signora monster]

BMX bike with an imaginary motor (with pegs on the spokes for real engine sound )

My father promised to buy me a motorcycle when I was a child and failed to deliver. After my unsuccessful attempts to transplant the Victa mower engine in to my Malvern Star, I was devastated. This in turn has resulted in an adult obsession with motorcycles which paved the way for.....

Kawasaki KLX80 (my first baby, race tuned, wicked little rocket, started my riding in the dirt)
Yamaha TTR125 (still enjoy riding in the dirt, still have this bike, got my licence on this baby)
Honda CBR250R (he was the love of my life, once long ago. Got evicted by the new Monster)
Yamaha VStar 250 (had this bike one month, outgrew it, moved on)  
Kawasaki ZXR250A (had this bike one month, never actually got to ride it, moved on)
Kawasaki ZXR250C (still have this bike)
Ducati Monster 695 with Termignonis (my current bike, lowered fully sick because I am very little and can't reach the ground)  

I am slowly working my way up in cc's. At 4foot 11inches, I am considering some leg extensions so I can reach the ground on a bigger bike. The platform enhanced Falco Boots have been brilliant.







 

[ducatiz]

First bike was a '64 Ducati Bronco.. Bought it with my lawn cutting money in 1980.

Second bike was a 84 Honda CB750

Third bike a 77 Honda CB400

and then in no particular order:  (and currently own)

1977 Ducati 500GTL
1980 Ducati Darmah SS
1949 BMW R51
1995 Ducati 900SP
1985 Cagiva Alazzurra 650SS
1985 Cagiva Alazzurra 650SS (yes, two..)
1986 Cagiva Elefant 650
1998 Ducati 600SS
2005 Monster S2R

I think that's it.

[Shoggy]

Does this include all the mates bikes we've crashed? No?...ok then....

Honda XR75 (with 80cc BIG BORE kit!)
Yamaha TT500 (pig to start)
Honda XL250 (coz I lost my drivers licence and needed transport)
Honda CB900F (gave mum lots of sleepless nights)
Kawasaki GT750
Yamaha XT550
Yamaha IT200
Moto Guzzi Le Mans 3 (wouldn't mind having this one back)
Ducati MHR Mille (wouldn't mind having this one back either...be worth a heap more than I what I paid for it!)
Kawasaki ZX1000R (met the missus on that one)
Ducati S2R 800

Next.....hmmm....let me have a chat with the minister for finance.

Cheers

Short but sweet list...
KTM Super Duke
Monster S4RS

Looking for an old-school bevel Ducati to join the Monster.  I think a 74 750 Sport has my name written all over it.  I also love the singles, but my "6 foot fat bastard" proportions won't allow it...

would love to hear your thoughts between the super duke...and the Duc!

[loony888]

a mate had a superduke, wanted something different, got talked out of a buell and bought the KTM, oh dear! what a mess, the oil pump shaft sheared off causing total engine destruction, i mean total! add to that he bought a warranty from the dealer, no worries! HAH! dropped the bike off for repairs and when he went back was told his warranty, that cost him a grand offered a maximum of $1000 for EITHER the motor, the chassis, or the bodywork. said dealer tore the bike apart, quoted $9000 to repair it and explained the limits of his paid for ($1000) warranty, oh and by the way, the bill for the quote was $985 dollars, so sir, you have a $15 credit at our dealership! my mate now rides a drz400 and has a superduke in bits piled up in a back room because the dealer told him he would have to pay "storage" if he didn't get the work done and didn't his bike home.
KTM = Keeps Taking Money
KTM = Kill The Mechanic
nice bike, but with dealer support like that i would catch the bus!

'69 Suzuki TS250
'77 Suzuki GT250
'88/'90 GSXR750
'91 GSXR750
'03 GSXR750
(didn't fall too far off the tree there, eh?)
'06 MS2R1k
'00 GSF250v bandit (bought for ex gf to teach her to ride)
'89/'91/box of shite CT110

The postie at the end has been an ordeal. Bought to teach my (now ex) fiancee how motors go back together. It got its first outing on Sunday, in a race! 3 lap Le Mans start postie challenge at a track day for another forum. Oh boy it was fun, sliding that beast around on 2.75" wide crossplies. Benefit of the postie is that, minus the front wheel, it fits in the boot of my car!



Said postie (I'm on the one in front)

That's stuff I've owned, I've had access to a load of other bikes through my old man and mates who needed storage for a while .

^^^^^Get that knee down ellingly!!!!

LOL. I tried. I did do one cornering effort with pegs and centre stand scraping, and my arse completely off the seat & sitting on the bit of exposed metal next to it and still couldn't get it down.

My mods in the rebuild (see sig) gave me good handling but unfortunately a sorta dead CDI module means it's got a bit of a nasty miss and is down on power.
