Back in apprentice days I did my TAFE training with the nutter hanging off the back of this thing.

He was the 1000cc sidecar world champ.



What a loose unit that dude was....

Picked up an old banger '85 Suzuki GS1100G to restore and add to the harem. I bought one of these new back in '84 and always regretted selling it. Not looking to make look concourse, just used but not abused.

Hows the restore going...

Mate (strangely his name is snow too!)still has that GS1000S sittin in the shed

[Steffo1]

How's this for bad luck?
Recently, Troy Bayliss was injured in a bicycle accident and now Alex Rins has a broken wrist, from a treadly prang!

Remy Gardner has a MotoGP offer, too!

Come on guys, the last thing we need is some more PlayStation warriors
Every time they turn up at the track they hardly make it out of the carpark
Although you can normally spot them, so you can take up a good vantage point first
No point telling them anything, they've done it all before from the safety of their lounge chair

Nice 200 there... pretty rare - like all IT's these days..
Borrowed a mates KDX200 back in the day for a weekend down at Yerriyong track... Only then I realized how others did so well in enduros around me compared to my heavy old TT although it was no standard TT anymore 

[NZMarkb]

Yeah those old 4 strokes were heavy beasts
I had an IT200 when I was about 20, then raced the first of the water cooled KDX's in the early 90's before going onto KX250's
My mate has an IT250k so can't wait to show up at a trail ride with them both on the back of the Ute

Confucius Say: dont wear a gopro when ya riding..

A learner motorcycle rider faces more than $77,000 in speeding fines after police combed through helmet footage from his GoPro-style action camera.

The 23-year-old man was originally busted for speeding on September 11, when police allege he was riding at 162km/h in an 80km/h zone of the Warringah Freeway in North Sydney.

Police said the learner rider told them "he was on his way to a nearby driving school where he was due to take part in a program to assist him in becoming a safer rider".
When officers noticed that he was wearing a video camera, they confiscated the memory card.

A subsequent investigation of its files resulted in a further 41 charges levelled at the rider, who now faces 14 counts of dangerous driving, including fines worth up to $2200 each, plus 15 counts of speeding over 45km/h (attracting a $2520 fine) and three counts of exceeding the speed limit by 30km/h (and $935 per pop).

Police added six other traffic offences to the man's bill, along with two counts of offensive behaviour and one breach of public orders that could relate to coronavirus lockdowns.

Police allege the man regularly rode at speeds exceeding 200km/h.

Be good to see the kid win it

Remy Gardner has his first opportunity at claiming the 2021 Moto2 World Championship this weekend.

If Remy Gardner can outscore team-mate Raul Fernandez by more than eight points this weekend, then he will be crowned 2021 Moto2 World Champion.

During the second Misano race of 2021 last time out, Fernandez looked on course to take over the championship lead for the first time this season, however, a costly crash whilst leading has instead left him 18 points behind the Australian.

That means if Gardner wins at Portimao - the circuit he took his first ever Moto2 win at last year, then Fernandez has to finish no lower than second in order to extend the title battle to Valencia.

Despite what's at stake, Gardner isn't focusing too far ahead and instead wants to keep the same approach as recent rounds.
