well i have had a few bikes in my time from my first "L" class cycle a yam 250 special........ well it wasnt!, spark plugs, points and a 7am start as an optical mechanic at OPSM 65km away with no freeways!
it took me a half hour to get the ******* started in the morn!
progressed to yam xv 750 customised..... highway pegs great aftermarket pipes effortless against a headwind but handled like a coles shopping trolley!
come a guzza on that and had six weeks "forced holiday"
enter a 1982 suzi katana 1100 and then the new kwaka gpz 900...... unfortunately written off after 4 days with me almost written off too, on a mad ride from northcliffe to windy harbour...... royal flying doctor service ...the works!
anyhow after a broken ankle, broken knee, wrist, ruptured kidney and my second replacement hip...... well..... i love bikes!!!
astronomy SEEMS a lot safer
