Why not? Only one careful owner each

Picked up another couple of Bunya Nuts in the park.

I had some success growing the seeds from the last one I had, and learnt a bit about doing it so I'll have another go. I have heaps of room to plant some more, or seedlings go for $3 - $5 each if not.

My what a prickly pair you got!

So, ya putting a turbo on the Busa then . . . 

I actually put the cash together to either do a full Super Stock derestrict on the Gen-3 or get a RCC stage two turbo kit for the Gen-2, but I called in at the local dealership at 10am and by 2pm I had a new DRZ400 and an empty wallet.

I would love a turbo Busa. I've ridden a couple, I've owned a big bore bike, a nitrous one, a supercharged one, always wanted a turbo bike. My blue Gen-2 is the ideal Busa to do a turbo bike, more so than the other Gen's.

It's just what a tired old bloke who only cruises to a cafe for breakfast needs...

Have had a few Pale Headed Rosellas and some King Parrots recently too. We do have two pairs of resident Sacred kingfisher, but like our Black Cockatoo's they are are either cautious of being near us or not interested in the bird table.

Older pic... King Parrot.



I known I need a better camera, not an old phone using the zoom,  sitting on my sofa !

Quite a few get turned into 11's, the 750 and 1100's share a lot of parts, although you can normally tell if it started life as a 7 from a couple of frame areas.

A nice 750 is quite rare as a lot of folk fit 1100, 1135E, GSXR or Bandit engines, they are a prime candidate for special builders.

I had a look at this one about 12 months ago.
It was nice, but not $5.5k nice for me.

Reckon I missed out Tony,was a rare sale.

Reckon I missed out Tony,was a rare sale.

I like the 80-ET and 81-EX, the first of the big 16v Suzuki's.
I was offered an 82 model, some were very similar to the 80 and 81 but they had a round headlight and some later style round clocks.  Most folk see them as being less desirable than the early bikes.

What did I see today?  Lots of dirt roads but in my Toyota, some washouts, a few trees down, low range and 4WD I was quite enjoying it... my wife and dog less so!  I found a way out and back onto the bitumen, no marks on the Toyota but it's got a coating of red dust now.

I may head back there on the DRZ soon.

Today saw my Mates parts list to reco his motor. It's 1950 Matchless 350 single. Just on $3000 for parts.Pretty good to still get bits for a 76 year old bike. Still has gearbox to price plus everything else. He's happy with it.

Today, like most days... The view from the loo !

We get around 40 same Cockies as you Tony. Mongrel noisy birds, chew everything in sight.Power lines, TV aerials,fences, houses.Chewed all the rods off TV antenna, tree across the road, huge gum, 1/2 destroyed. I chase them away with hose jet.Their horrible noise goes on forever, totally not a fan of them.
