If you guys want to order an over size case of parts, I just may be inside. Nice stable you have there Sid! Do they have the grav. boots at customs, or should I carry an anchor?

OK, in front is "Sid" AKA Sid The Sloth 2007 ZX50, Then is "Gypsy" 1999 Kawasaki GPX250 (you may know it as a Ninja 250), Then is "Jessie" 2009 Suzuki GS500F, then is "Marilyn" 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 (VL800). My wife has a thing about names for everything. The GPX has been comandeered by my wife. I bought the scooter for her to learn on and it worked, she now rides th Kwaka so I get Sid, hence the need for a little more speed. :). No such thing as too much. ;)

Top stuff mate, that bloke has got to post a video of tha race. I have beaten my wife with her on the Kwaka and me on the scooter, but she is a lot more confident now so I must accept the innevitable (though that may be about to change) :)

Cheers wordslinger, I certainly like them, nothing better than getting a nice day and just ride to where ever you feel like going. Now that the missus is off the back and on a bike herself it makes it more enjoyable for her as well.

I like your c50 :)  Would love to test ride a C40, and possibly buy it.  Haha.

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

No, the last one was the XJ650 which I sold in '91. I cancelled my bike licence back then as I didn't think I'd ever get another bike & there was a $50 a year surcharge on bike licences to fund learner rider training. So now I am on my scoot with Learner plates on the back & having to start fresh to get my licence back. I reckon the CB350/4 & the Supersport would be worth a bit now if I still had them
