Bought a 2000 Yamaha R1 last week.
Wanted one for years, it's tweaked with Akropovic exhaust, Brembo's etc. Was an amazing price so couldn't resist, my daughter also loves it....ha Some cracks in fairings to fix and genuine stickers on the way to replace the white 26's, I've already given it a full detail and will look/perform A1 when finished!!....  Made me think what are our interests outside Fords? (I own a BA 300kw Xr Turbo, in the pic) Whether bikes/boats/jetskis etc etc, so thought could share some pics/words on your favourite "toys"!?

Rebuild this a few years go KTM 620 LC4 Super Comp, picked it up cheap in Sydney and ordered a heap of parts from UK bike wreckers to get it completed, had it registered for 12 moths and then put it in the shed, still ride it occasionally on private land.
Not worth a million, but these things do have a following, and I might register it again one of these days and use it to ride to work in summer. It's a big heavy bike with heaps of grunt and not designed for smaller guys or the faint hearted.

@Mercury Bullet
1990 eh - that wasn't to far from the year that Gods gift blew my mind as a young un at the southern 80 (from memory) Somewhere between Robinvale and Mildura i started to understand the concept of a 7 figure boat ($ wise). Damn Insane. Campsite didn't stop talking about "that boat" for the rest of the week me - just planes (renter) and bikes now I've sold the supercharged HQ. Policing and social media has killed the good old days I have no idea how to post the photos.. |

only have a few right now. Polaris Sportsman Touring 850 l, mountain bikes, and a D610 DSLR camera kit. But I also enjoy boating, jet skiing, flying, powered parachuting, RVing/camping, road bikes, dirt bikes, down hill skiing, and snowmobiling. Basically anything with an engine that's fun and fast.

My two favourite "toys"...
1974 was a good year...   And for those poor deprived souls who have never had the supreme aural experience of a 750 two stroke triple...turn up the volume...  And yes, it's supposed to sound like that...if it stops smoking and rattling, there's something wrong with it...
