Title: Just joined Chris WA
Post by: chrislimb on October 01, 2012, 04:08:29 PM: I have always been on bikes, but for a time was without one having traded my Suzuki GT550 outfit for a Honda Civic. It was a few years before buying a Kawasaki GPZ1100 in 1996. I could transport my triathlon bikes on the Suzuki's sidecar (after cutting away most of the chair) so the GPZ had to have a towbar and trailer. Both came from Classic in Q.... I am getting there. The Kawa soon had pitted cams and I replaced them with Eddie Lawson cams but not happy and found my 1997 ST1100A in Midland WA, May 2002. It came with tow bar so there was no messing around. At fifteen years old the ST has a side car for the pushbike, and still seems to get better and better, and a joy. Now I have an ST1300 and can instruct people how to fit the tow bar too. It is the perfect motorcycle for me.

Regards to you all, Chris.

So have a look around the site and enjoy.

Post by: saaz on October 02, 2012, 06:02:42 PM: Howdy Chris! I used to have the big brother of the GT550 Suzuki, a GT750K model. I rode with a few people who had the 550, and they were a fast bike, probabaly as they were lighter.
