Here is a few pics of my 02XR400 which I regularally ride in the high country,  I rekon this bike was built for the high country  ;D LOL

It might not have the latest technolgy but its easy to maintain and reliable, (but yes there heavy LOL)!

Gotta love the xr400. I ride with a guy who has one in the high country and the bike just keeps going.

I currently have a 2009 Husqvarna TE450 which is great. Love the fuel injection.

Seems there a plenty of dirt bikes amongst the my swaggers. We have a property just out of Mansfield on the Buller Road. We should arrange a my swag ride when the tracks reopen. Plenty of room on our property for camping and those that don't have bikes can 4wd (and carry the drinks / lunch). We have a spa to soak the sore bodies at the end of the day and a pizza oven to recharge the tummies.

Started with an AS3 Yamaha in 1973, then Suzuki GT250 and XJ650 Yamaha. Then a long break before getting back into riding with a R1100RT BMW. Now we ride a K1200LT.

Nice bike your man has there, dragonsgirl...it'd be worth a bit now. I recently saw that a 70's SS went for over 50 grand!

Iv'e enjoyed a number of bikes over the years.
Kawasaki 125
Harley Davidson Dyna
Harley Davidson Road King
Triumph Bonneville
Custom Built Harley Davidson Softail
and now that I'm more frail than ever a Hardtail Harley Davidson Sportster.

When I sort out how to upload photos I'll include a few.

The Hardtail is in my signature until we find a CT.

My bike for the past 5 years was a KLX400R with some fruit and tuning. Good reliable Enduro bike. Not has flashy as KTM's but I still managed to fall off just as good as everyone else.  >:D



I'm a little over the dirt so I have been looking at HD Dyna Fat Bob.

Love everyones ride!!

Me I started riding little Pee Wee 50, and progressed from there riding mates bikes or brothers (Posties, YZ125, CR85 even a CB 250 bush tracking hehe could kill that bike, and we even tried a few times!!).

Road Bikes I started with a 1983 RC15 VFR 750, and that was such a great bike, then had a break and then brought a ZX7R, which have had for the past 7 years!!

Last big ride we had!!









Oh and before anyone asks, no we did not request the sheep!!!

LOL

It was Boxing day and farmer wanted to move them from one paddock to another!!

Quite fun coming down the road and seeing a sea of white, and wondering WTF it was!!

LOL  ;D ;D

Thanks
