Default Motorbikes?

My NSW driving licence says that I'm allowed to ride a motorcycle, but I haven't actually owned one since 1979. I survived unscathed riding in Sydney peak hour traffic for a few years, but eventually went soft and gave it up. Believe it or not, the last bike I rode was a brand new Harley a couple of years ago. A friend of mine in Armidale NSW bought one for his mid-life crisis and he let me ride it. I was impressed with its power, but it weighed far too much - I wasn't inspired to get one.

2002 Kawasaki ZX-6R 636 Ninja

Very rapid bike, very nice handling and light. I had a Yamaha FZR1000 a few years ago, but I prefer the Ninja. I use it to go to work every day as well as some blats in the mountains.

If anybody hasn't figured it out, my avatar is the headlights from my bike

Honda VT600 to get to and from work and I used to have fun on these at work a few years ago. (in case you are wondering I'm the one on the far left)

I use to have a GSXR1100 (89 model)and loved it until a comb van remodeled it and almost me (lucky for the nice soft grass that I landed on). I rebuilt it and sold it and haven't owned one since. I'm thinking of rebuilding another as a project.

err...I have been playing a computer game with B1?????

OMG, can I have your autograph...err...for my son.

Used to ride a Yammy RD250 back in the 80's for uni. Got TK'd so many times on the road by four_wheels_and_roofs, that I gave it up after a particularly nasty shock in the form of a cartwheel over a staionary car.

sniffle...I lubbed that bike...
