My Bikes

Let me guess -- the RD was the quickest of those pictured?  Even without the chambers.

1st 2 stroke I ever owned & yes it was very quick but I didn't really like the feel of the 2 stroke motor on a road bike for just general cruising around

...i like the pipes on that CB400 Super Sport...cooooll....

Yeah I loved the way they all curved around like that. I think that bike was my favourite out of all of them. The XJ650 had plenty of power but the CB400 was just so smooth to ride

 The sl 125 brings back some memories.  Great bike on or off road a real workhorse

Wow, you got some nice bikes there, sid!!!

G'day Rianna, yeah I like them, but I have lost the green one, mrs Sid reckons I can maintain it and register it, but it is hers . lol

[Rianna]

I was surprised to see so many nice bikes!!! I can see why Mrs Sid picked the green one. It is sharp looking. Someone across town here has a red one that looks similar. It looks to have bigger tires, but probably a bit tall for me. Which one do you use when you are working on the ZX? If I had so many I would have a hard time picking a favorite, lol.

The zx is my main one in that it is what I use to get to work and back. However, on my days off I like to go for a ride, that is where the Horrocks pass and pt. germein gorge come in to it. Mrs. Sid likes the green one as she is short and that bike fits her well. Funnily enough, the biggest bike there being a cruiser has a low seat height and she can put both feet down on it.

[Rianna]

That's interesting. I'm a shorty and would have thought most cruisers to be too tall for me. I usually just see Big Bike and never thought about the seat height much. The agility looks to be the perfect size for me but the seat is high. Another lesson learned. lol. And yes, you and Mrs. sid have some great places to ride near you. I loved those pictures. If I had a bike that ran I would probably be riding there or looking for places like those to ride all the time. They looked so peaceful and beautiful. A great way to spend your time off!

By the nature of their style, cruisers do have a low seat height, but the width can offset that. In the end, you must sit on as many as you can to see what feels comfortable.
