Hi,I'm not good with computers..but here goes.I ride a ZZR1100-C3 with Gixxer 1000 6pot calipers,braided lines,Megacycle 4into 1 and a set of Beet rear sets .In the pipeline and currently under construction is my"retirement bike" Norton featherbed wideline frame,short roadholder front end(with modern valving)custom made oil and 5 gallon alloy petrol tank and ducktail,250mm 4leading 4 trailing drum brakes and a stroked to 930cc Triumph T150 air cooled triple with 3 into 2 exhaust pipes.I ride the ZZR any day with an overnight temp min of 3 degrees or more and I manage 6days a week average throughout the year which I think is not bad for Southern Tasmania .My wife rides too so I always check the kitchen table for a note if the bikes not in the shed.You know the sort of thing..you take the ute in for a dump run and come back to a note and no bike...oh well that's me and my intro.

Cayuga ducks come from Canada they are black all over and go irridesent green in direct sunlight. Just think of Daffy duck without the white ring around his neck. To quote Daffy "Oh no you don't.. not to this little black duck"

The Triton is a collection of bits at the moment.The motor and gearbox is on it's way to London where it will live at my daughters place until my spot on the waiting list comes around then it will be shipped to Omega Racing to be stroked to 930cc and reconditioned.My Fontana 10" drum brake is buried in a 20' shipping container as we are renovating the house for sale and my wife wants a neat property presentation.The ZZR is ready for photos.I can take them no worries, but I will have to wait until my son inlaw is available to get them from the camera to here.That process is well beyond my capabilities.We will be building at the new place so I expect it will be 5 to 6 months before the Triton photos will happen and by then I should have the motor back.I hope to have the finished bike weigh in at about 160-165 Kg and have 80 hp at the rear wheel.Not the greatest power to weight ratio but I am 63, hence it being my last bike.
