Some photos of my bikes:



My 1402 K5 purchased second hand in September 2015



My 1978 GS1000HC purchased new and traded for a 1981 GS1000GX which I still have on historic Registration.

Giday Jeff,

I thought you would eventually tern up.

That was a great ride and the 1402's were in their element on those winding mountain roads.

A little warmer over here today (about 39C at home) so I did an early morning run to Mt White today.

Have a look at the Christmas photo I took tonight and posted in the Christmas challenge thread.

Do you remember this day a couple of years back.

Jeff,

Oran Park. No longer a racetrack, now a massive housing estate.

It was the last bike race meeting at the track.

I think it was the first time I met you. You rode down with the Newcastle VJMC members.

As I recall it was about 45C in the shade.

Brings back memories of some of the rides we did with me struggling to keep up on the GS1000G.

Decided "if you can't beat join em" and picked up the 1400 with your help and wise counsel.

The 1000G is now used for club rides and the 1400 for the serious riding.

I just love the lighter unsprung weight, fuel injection, brakes and the torque.

Everything else is better!

Hope they are treating you well over there. Would love to get to Ireland again and tour some more of the great coastline.

G'day @Johno



VJMC member eh.  Do you know any of the CX500 crowd in the VJMC ?

[Johno]

Giday Vlad,

Thanks again to you and all the others for the warm welcomes.

Even Irish has regained his memory.

The CX 500 crowd were very active at VJMC rallies in past years but not as much recently.

Know a few from Sydney and Canberra.

Joe from Maleny was a regular in the past but haven't seen him for some time.

Nice photo of you and the XJ900.

My red GS1000G is just behind, obscured by His Irishness. I'm the grey bearded one grinning in the right hand corner.

A couple for Irish in Oz.

Do you remember these bikes and locations.

Inverell Rally, Copeton Dam.
A stroker day a few Pomme's and myself on the RD's. The 500's where Aussie will see if I can find pic of Jimmy's custom RD500.
Still retired but flat out doing renovations.
