M Hogan, I can't see the photo mate.

Back in the day I used to have a 750 Bonnie and then an 1340 Superglide...Sold them to put the money onto the house but have now had the ok to invest in another...Looking for a cheaper Harley(not sporty)or maybe a Speedmaster or America in the 850cc models...Just thought I'd throw it in here...You never know...

Sparra,have a look at Just Bikes magazine.You will find what your after mate.

hey guys ,this is my rig, yamaha royal star 1300, go anywhere even been on hunting trips,gaz.

Finally after a bit of saving and a generous wife.....Picked it up today....

Very nice Sparra, congrats. She looks shiney and noisey.

Jeff

Nice mate

looks good Sparra,but its not in the lounge room

That is my lounge room....

you live in the shed too?

oop's well i hope it can see the tv

Here ya go Rod.....

Perfect,and if it's cold dont forget to put a blanket on it..............do the windows vibrate while its idling in there if not its too quiet and needs the baffles taken out ..........................Rod

Nice Sparra...but your not going to turn into one of those not waving ,grim faced Hardly davison fellas are you Your taste in beer is gr8,but do i see they are not opened,i can fix that Have fun and stay safe

Great looking bike Sparra I like the colour..
Don't go waving to anyone, it might void your warranty
Cheers,
Matt

Thanks fella's....No warranty Matt it's a 95 model....Happened to find it on the internet with only 4500ks on it and in a fella's lounge room...When I picked it up both him and his wife were teary as they are victims of the economic downturn and in the process of losing everything and have been trying hard to hang onto it...Anyway enough of the sad stuff...I love it and it does make the windows rattle...

This is my favourite ride...Unfortunately its in bits,packed away in crates awaiting me to give it its next leaf in life..Hopefully ,now that I have more machinery it wont be too far off.
1949 triumph Thunderbird 650 rigid.
Fully worked,balanced and lightened George Heggie Race engine(RIP George)..The motor featured in an outfit raced at Sydney showground in the 50's..and has been further worked by me.
Big carbies,80 thou over forged pistons,huge jets,straight thru pipes with custom billet alloy dry clutch and kevlar primary belt drive...raked and with custom tank and bits this ole girl is a blast to ride short distance due to the speedway 60% balancing..but a bit hard on the body for a cruise..
Maybe next build Ill chuck it in a swinging arm frame

I don't think the Missus would like sittin' on the back of that one.

Jeff

She tried once..I cracked it open out of Berrimas Pub and left her sitting on her bum...lol
Never had to worry about carting her around again..lol

Jeff

Thanks...Ive kept a 94 Mid glide front end to chuck on next time..And I will custom machine all the bits..I like old,originaly different stuff...lol
The dynamo and magneto have been fully refurbished ready to go..just got to find some inspiration

So you had to get her out the shed and wash all the dust off the poor old girl before ya posted a photo of her huh?

Jeff

great looking triumph. special.leave the rigid on mate looks nice and classy.does it have a sprung hub on the back?

just looking at the pics of my bikes in here,man i miss them

her she is 2005 royal star with the trailer that I made been everywhere on this ,we rode to Tassie in 2012 6300ks I,ve been out hunting with here .it rained once and there is 8ks of dirt road to get to my hunting property it took an hour and ten minutes to ride out got bogged, 3 times ,I was with a mate who was also on a bike we had to unhitch the trailer and push my bike then drag the trailer up then ride on, hell that was a scary ride hehehe.gazza.

Don't currently ride, but used to a lot in my youth.

Had a selection of stuff from crappy little CG125's and A100's through to a GPZ500, FZR1000 and one of the early Ducati 851's (a beautiful thing which really handled when set up, could ride it off the edge of the tyres, scrape knees, boot edges etc with ease. Great round race tracks too once I put decent AP Lockheed brakes on it.)

Also had a couple of XR250's, a TT350 and a Husky 410 which were fun.

Often thought about getting something else, but never got around to it.

Visited an old mate a few years back and he had this sitting in the living room on a restore job couldn't believe me eyes when I saw it. I think it was a '59' 650. Will have to chase him up for a completion photos. Just thought you'de like a picky.

Cheers Wayno
