Offroad-Express

This must be where we post up all the road bikes weve had, and find out who has the need for speed, that only a big bike can give you.



My SV that I still have dont get to use it much now,



GT750 3cyl 2 stroke fun but heavy.

Also have had 1998 GSXR750, 1986 GSXR750 and VF500.
The SV isnt the fastest bike around but I got old and started to slow down.

my bike riding started with a TS 100 1973 model ,then a TS 250 , gearbox died, then T 500 suzuki ,traded that for a GS 750 , slamed that in to the side of a car on Punket ave in Wiri , walked way bruised balls an a black eye , so ended my bike riding days

Thats so funny i'm so glad i don't have nuts or i might have given up ages ago lol

I'll get some pic's from home tonight and post up my old bikes tomorrw

forgot to add something to that i hit the car in the fuel filler door sprayed me with fuel, broken headlight ingnited it did a sumersult in flames over the top of the car on fire

Mine, decided I needed something to scare me a little bit

nice bike T2

This was my bike before I left the UK, looking to sell the boat now and get another bike I miss riding alot. And there are some damn fine roads out here..

this is about as close as i get these days this is me and a mate with our kids, I used to race a Honda RS 125 gp bike and i've had my fair share of smaller road bikes 250cc anh 400cc but i'm just little, i'm thinking about another road bike, like a Monster 600cc style more than speed, but i might end up going back to the japs cheaper to fix lol

How long ago did you race the RS shell? Manfield?

Cheers, Jeff.

from about 1995-1999

number 46

Ahh, yea, thought I recognised you, I use to build and tune my brother-in-laws TZ125 around the same time. He then wen't to 600 production but sucked in that class, to many cheaters.

Cheers, Jeff.

oh oh oh gossip who who not brian? i'm really good mates with Derek Mcadam and I Dated Kriss sherriffs so i used to be good mates with Craig sherriffs

Ah, no, his name is Steven Wright, I know the other guys you mention though. This is the 600 I used to set up for him, can't find any pics of the 125.

still got all the moulds i had when i had my fiberglass shop doing m/c farings etc.
I used to sponcer Andy Scrivner and Chris Meads by building up there sidecar bodys for them and a few others shaun Harris with his kawasaki ZZ 400 andy Bretherton RGV 250 and one other guy i cant rember his name but he finnished his race was in the pits got off his bike and had a heart attack and died he raced a CBR 400 RR

sold my cbr 400 rr to have the cash for my truck, now that summers coming im keeping an eye out for a cbr600rr but i no i probably shouldn't the truck is safer for me and my license



That was the bike,

if anyone know's of a 600, don't be shy

Had my fair share of bikes over the years, grew up on 2 wheels, would recommend it to anyone learning as it teaches you to 'keep you on your toes' having to watch out for all those other road users that intend on killing you

last bike i owned was a fully worked ex-race bike, GSXR400, had custom headers, tail pipe, port job, gearing, hand built fiberglass/kevlar fairings etc etc.. the list goes on, long story short, it would rip a stock GSXR750 off the line with ease I think if I kept it I probably wouldn't be here to post this

In the workshop I worked at the time, we sponsored a rider, we built a CBR400RR with a CBR600RR engine, bored out to 700cc and various other mods... it dyno'ed at a little above the Brittan bike Shame the rider trashed it doing 230kms at the end of Ruapuna straight

I'll try to scan a few photos and post them here so you can see the beast of mine

4wd's are fun but I miss 2 wheels

This is my baby and the reason behind my user name.....

Nice bike, but I am a bit biased

mine is the same, loose that big whale tail

Aaron wrote: loose that big whale tail

Yep I intend too when I get the chance, I should have done it by now considering I was the first one on NZ roads to have one of these road legal... just a bit slack really. That photo was taken on the first weekend out (2 days after I picked it up back in May 2003) so it's a bit different now.

I also got mine in 2003 when they first came in, got the yoshi pipes at the same time spent a fortune then they dropped the price on them.

You cant beat the sound of a big V twin

I'm slowly getting used to the thing. it's a bit of a handful
Think I'll go down a tooth on the front tho. Want a little more go off the mark.

Here's me & mine on the track at Philip Island:





06 Kwaka Z750.

Coming from a long line of puddle jumpers, I just can't get into the whole sports bike crouch thing, so I figured this was the next best thing. I would have gone a motard, but 900km+ days suck on a motard..

My gixxr thou, and mates 636. Always love a 4wd, but nothing comes close to the fun factor of these things I reckon.

This was my 2nd bike, vfr400nc30

bought after i traded in a nsr250
then got the sidecar for a few years

I see this post is still allive
heres a poor pic of my "road" bike
(couldnt work out how to change the date on camera)


47###k's and still going strong
Last weekend I opend up the air box and rejet'd it

My brother's got one of those DR's. He loves it.
I can here him coming from a few blocks away.

Then we spotted an old "Dragster" push bike.
