Hi all, thought I'd post some pics as a way of introducing myself.
The GT(The Bitch) I bought in '88 as a one owner with 37,000kms (23,000m), she now has 420,000kms (261,000m) and is very tired. The origonal motor done 320,00 kms before it hand grenaded in a big way, junked the entire motor. Current motor came out of a non running wreck I bought for parts, a change of carbs and it fired up. Unfortunately an "expert" with a die grinder has "tuned" it and is a real pig to ride compared to the stock motor. Now in semi retirement while I accumulate the bits she needs for an overhaul. Due too limited income I'm looking at possibly 18 months to collect everything.
Last night after replacing the steering head bearings
Bought the DL (SnowQueen) 21/12/2010 as the new ride for us. Our requirements were comfortable seat with plenty of room for both of us, low pillion pegs to be comfortable, large tank and good economy, reliability, and had to be a Suzuki .
The night we picked her up
Same corner 13 years apart, Mt Buller, Victoria, Australia.

More pics in my Photobucket, along with my other obsession, model building.
