Thanks for the welcome Top-Shaggy, people think I'm mad when they realise I'm not joking It's directly off my kitchen was supposed to be like the everyday room and the lounge for posh, but,,, seeing as a garage mean't less to spend Currently home to 2 quads - my CanAm 450 and a spanking Raptor 700, a k3 Gsxr600, a KLX110, my boy's PW80 and my new love the YSR80, although I'm sure the KLX keeps trying to rape the YSR to make some more children for me, that's what I'll tell her anyway
Was reliving my youth thought about my very 1st love my mum was having none of, a TY, then the YSR did it for me, my 1st bike an RD50M ended up with an 80MX engine stamped up as a 50.
Next up a black MKII LC, that only lasted me 6 days from new
The next one in white came with the stock nasty fairing, after killing that, the shop sourced an Italian one that replaced the headlight for round, rear sets, clip ons, then bored for a YZ150 piston, ported, gas flowed, dellorto and an allspeed, she flew...
Don't ask for pics, the only one I got is with my young cousin sat on my 50 wi' me wi' some dodgy looking perm going on, to say I look like a kid fiddler is no joke
As you can see a YSR fitted perfectly to my past bikes, it's like a 3 in 1, although now I want 3 not 1 |

That's a great into. How about some pictures of all your (bike) children in the house watching tv ?
I regularly have a drink with mine in the garage, sat looking at them in various states of dis-assembly with a single malt, bushmills honey or southern comfort does it or me !
Shhhhhh but my YSR80 has found a place in the house too since it was covered with tinsel and lights as a Xmas tree at Christmas .. Gets to go out now and again though... I look like a right dork because I'm far far too big for it, but that's the whole GAG thing.. If your a boring serious b@std a GAG is certainly not for you
.

So you must be as mad as me
Lookin forward to yer piccies in the relevant sections below _________________ We are where we are... |

Ah the ol' Suvern Cumvern, ask for that in a Chinese Restaurant, but, MAKE sure to get them to repeat it back at least twice, they can't pronounce it I got a bottle of 50 proof somewhere, knocks you sideways |

Welcome Paul.
Start a new thread in the Suzuki section for your RGV's and get some photos up.
We'll be happy to see a pic of the ZZR too, especially if it's a cheesy one of you being presented with the keys. |

Was told about the site when at a 2 stroke meeting, and I consider it to be one of the best. |

Hi guys, from down under...
Recently bought an RGV VJ22 after many years not having a stroker.
Used to own a downright insane RZ350 when Younger and would have
Liked another, but a bit hard to find these days and not to mention pricey.
Anyway bike needs a bit of a clean-up and have started paint work.
Anyone know of a really good supplier of RGV decals (sent snittle a PM)
looking at doing a lucky strike job....I know everyone does this scheme but it looks ace IMO.
Any other suggestions for a paint scheme...currently black/purple.
Doesn't really do that much for me
Any one else from Australia addicted to RGVs?
