    Never go into the old photobucket, saw today in there pic of my first roadbike,
    old "dogsdick" we called her as she was lipstick red with the contrasting white wheels.

    Yep, full Gangster back in the day!!

    What was your first hoon mobile??  

    Then I thought I should go for more speed, heres "ShortChange" up at La Perouse enjoying the sun...

    Realised quickly there was no style there,
    so along came "Goldie" a little V-Twin for last few days on the P-Plates and never looked back since...

    1974 Yamaha 175 ag bike, unregistered. I still remember doing 100kph on the highway with one of the kids on the pillion and one on the fuel tank, no helmets. They thought it was pretty exciting but it makes me shudder to think of it now.

    My first Roadie was a 1976 Kwaka Z900 green with gold trim, Man I still miss that old girl but women and kids do these things to ya.

    after the Z9 I decided I should actually get a bike licence and tried riding a Kwaka LTD250 on my L's, They definately were limited. I rode it twice and blew the poor lil thing up.

    Waited until I was unrestricted and bought the 1970 Shovel.

    After the Z9 I vowed not to sell a bike due to a woman again so now I have 14 in the shed including a couple of 750/4's and a few yammy XS1100's but the latest addition has been a new Rocket III Touring which is my daily ride.
