That's a ghostly collection. Makes me wonder what happens during the midnight hour in your shed.

Reckon they'd all be leaning on the workbench, with a schooner of 10w40, talking about where they've been.

The bikes in the shed GsxKing arnt much special, thats why i left them covered 😎 trali bikes, adventure bike, Harleys. Now me mate is king! He won the GP at Bathurst in about 82-83 on a TZ350 i think but has 11 fully restored SS Ducatis inside his house, hes a legend mate.

Chop, your mate with Ducatis. Is he German? Does he have a Honda CBX? Sounds just like bloke used to live just up the road. 13 SS, including a green frame. His CBX was made into a cofee table, had 87 ks on clock. No zeros, just 87.

Wow, 87klms, not sure what bred he is but lives in Qld, Pete is his name. He restores them himself, puts oil in but no fuel, leaves plugs finger tight then once a month he will turn them over i think by kicker to bring the oil presure up and then recovers them up. They are restored to a level that you woukd think that where brand new.

Thinkin back he did have a faded green Ducati which he hasnt restored and was saying it was worth a lot.

Chop, sounds like similar but this bloke used to ride a diff one each day. All like brand new. I couldnt understand, one day black, next silver, low exhaust, high next day. I thought he mustve changed over at night. He just had 13 bikes. Much easier. His green frame, one of first 7 sent to Oz, He was offered 100g by a Jap buyer in year 2000. He called his collection his super annuation. I have another mate in Tasmania, ill tell his collection one day.

How similar Grog with the green Ducati, im pretty sure it was worth around 70g he said once but yea, he never rode any of his collection but he did have a later model Ducati that was his everyday ride, if i recall, when he first started racing he used to drive around the country with Wayne Gardiner in an old transit van to the races, they where racing TZ250 and 350 back then, he sent me this picture a while ago of this Honda GP bike that was on display at Honda in Japen, beautiful mate.

Maybe the same guy who decided against riding them all at a later time or the other way around.
