Just thought I'd introduce myself and my bike

Postby RustyAs » Tue Dec 29, 2009 8:10 pm

Hi all,

I have been on here for a while and thought it was about time I introduced myself and my Bike.

Been riding bike forever, started on the farm riding dirt bikes. Must have owned or ridden every size and brand built back then (30 years ).

First road bike was a Honda 750Four. Had a few since including a Suzuki GS1000 and a Rickman. The Rickman was Kawasaki Green but had a fully worked Honda 750 Four with loads of go fast gear. Was good for over 145 mph over 25 years ago.

Hadn't had a bike for a long time, and had been admiring the ZZR 1100's through the years and when this one came up I couldn't let it go. It is a Dec 1999 model with only 5200 klms. It apparently sat in some ones garage for years not being used. Kelens at Penrith got it and from what I understand basically stripped it down and rebuilt it. Has new tank and a new set of carbies and has not missed a beat!

Over the go fast, on the edge stuff. Just looking forward to me and my wife doing some trips or catching up with some like minded riders for a few runs.

I gave it a wash and a polish today and took heaps of pics and thought I'd upload a few

Cheers
