This is my first bike, after doing the duty of being a learner's bike it was shipped over to Turkey which toured the country with me for 9 months and the only problem within that time was broken accelerator cable.

Upon returning to Australia I purchased a Kawasaki GPZ600R. I am not a big fan of Kawasaki's, only got it cause not too much $$$ at the time.

The Suzuki GSXR750F was the next bike and this bike really took massive amounts of punishment and still asked for more.   This bike took the role of taking me to work, hooning, and carrying the family shopping.

Always wanted a Katana 1100 and I ended up getting the 1981 model with wire wheels, The bike had to be sold due to the fact that it was too heavy to handle due to a back operation.

Finally after getting the Ducati I realised what I have been missing out for over 20 years of riding.  Anyone who hasn't ridden a V twin should do themselves a favour and ride one.  This is a magic bike but after the second back operation riding bikes was out of the question. It will be ridden again once l am able to.
